This is the first installment of ‘The Bounce’, a new weekly column that will focus primarily on Baylor men’s basketball, but may venture into other aspects of Baylor sports fandom. ‘The Bounce’ will consist of a feature article, plus my smaller thoughts or notes I find interesting.
Now that the roster is settled, my biggest question about the 2020-2021 Bears is how the defense will fair. The roster turnover is limited, for sure, but did Baylor lose the one piece that a good defense just can’t lose? I dive into that question, plus bring forth some relevant history of how consistent top 10 defenses have been in recent years.
