Men’s basketball opens practice with high expectations

By Ben Everett | Sports Writer

The Baylor men’s basketball team is in the midst of their second week of practice as they prepare for an expectation-filled 2017-18 season.

While the Associated Press Preseason Top 25 rankings have yet to be released, the Bears are already appearing in preseason rankings from other media outlets such as CBS Sports, which has them at No. 18 and Bleacher Report, who put the Bears at No. 17.

The Bears have not been ranked in the preseason Top 20 since the 2012-13 season.

Junior guard Jake Lindsey said the potential for greatness is there because of the abundance of experience on the team.
