Baylor won the 2021 national championship and is looking to make a deep run after being knocked out in the second round the past two seasons. The Bears open the 2024 bracket on Friday against No. 14 Colgate (25-9) in Memphis.

Rayj Dennis is averaging 13.3 points and 6.8 assists for the Bears. Jalen Bridges is averaging 14.9 points over the last 10 games.

Ryan Moffatt is shooting 37.1% from beyond the arc with 2.0 made 3-pointers per game for the Raiders, while averaging 10.4 points. Keegan Records is shooting 62.0% and averaging 12.4 points over the last 10 games.
