Baylor only played one game this week. After losing at Kansas State and Texas, the Bears had an entire week off to rest a prepare for their game against TCU. So you might guess the Bears would come out at home, play a clean game, and take the win against a TCU team that has been struggling.

Nope. This game between Baylor and TCU went into triple overtime. Let me say that again for dramatic effect. Triple overtime. The final score of this game was 105-102 and it went the way of the Horned Frogs. Baylor has now dropped thier third straight game. They have the best offense int he Big 12, but what is hurting them so much is that they have the second-to-worst defense in the Big 12.

Baylor is going to have to figure something out because if they keep going in this direction, they could be in danger of just missing the NCAA Tournament. Well, they will probably drop out of the AP top 25 rankings this week, so they dropped in these power rankings.
