Baylor men’s basketball was picked by the league’s coaches to win the Big 12. The Bears received seven-of-nine first place votes. They were picked second by the other two votes.
Scott Drew voted Kansas first, as did the two other non-Baylor votes.
The Big 12 should be the best league at the top. The Bears are preseason No. 1-No. 3 on all media ballots released so far. The Jayhawks have some nice recruits to add to Marcus Garrett and a decent core from last season. Texas and West Virginia are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the country, respectively, in Bart Torvik’s advanced rankings.
