Kendall already did a very in depth preview of this game here. I largely agree with his analysis except for a couple of caveats. First, even if #8 Wichita State (5-1) has Shamet available to play, #16 Baylor (5-1) has a zone defense that is uniquely good at stopping drives to the rim. A lot of Shamet’s game is premised around driving iso defenders to the rim before the help can get there. I think the Bears can shut that down, much like Notre Dame was able to with their zone.
Second, with a 7 man rotation for Baylor due to injury, I think refereeing style could have a large impact on the game.
