The first meeting will take place in Waco, Texas. The Huskies will host the Bears next season.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yoRYC7\">In recent years, Baylor has been a terrifying match-up for teams. If you glance at its record, it\u2019s easy to assume Baylor struggled this past season. It went 20-15 overall. However, only three losses occurred when playing outside the Big 12, one of the nation\u2019s two toughest conferences, alongside the SEC. Those three non-conference losses were to Gonzaga in the season opener, Tennessee, and at the time, reigning back-to-back champion UConn.<\/p>\n<p id=\"QNE9aY\">Despite the 20-15 mark, Baylor made the NCAA Tournament, toppled Mississippi State in the Round of 65, then fell to Duke.<\/p>\n<p id=\"eiN6lh\">The most recent token of Baylor\u2019s consistency was last week\u2019s NBA Draft, when the Philadelphia 76ers selected star freshman V.J. Edgecombe with the third overall pick.<\/p>\n<p id=\"pVaceq\">Scott Drew has been Baylor\u2019s head coach since the 2003-04. Since taking over, the Bears have gone 466-259, reached the NCAA Tournament 13 times, and won the Big 12 regular season crown three times.<\/p>\n<p id=\"OOhZKA\">Most impressively, Baylor reached the Final Four and won the National Championship during the 2020-21 season. The season prior, COVID-19 ended the NCAA Tournament before it ever began, but it\u2019s worth noting that Baylor was a favorite to win it all, logging a 26-4 record before the shutdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Washington and Baylor will collide in a two-part home-and-home series, beginning this season and extending to next, according&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":30625,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[44],"tags":[26107,931,1339,26106,26110,204,316,1317,1337,1338,26108,16255,1630,6166,62,447,67,132,68,26109,2058,26111],"class_list":{"0":"post-30624","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-agree","9":"tag-and","10":"tag-basketball","11":"tag-baylor","12":"tag-dawg","13":"tag-front-page","14":"tag-home","15":"tag-ncaa","16":"tag-ncaa-basketball","17":"tag-ncaabasketball","18":"tag-per","19":"tag-pound","20":"tag-report","21":"tag-series","22":"tag-sports","23":"tag-to","24":"tag-united-states","25":"tag-unitedstates","26":"tag-us","27":"tag-uw","28":"tag-washington","29":"tag-washington-huskies-mens-basketball"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114779589472108746","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30624"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30624\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30625"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
