Off the longest postseason run of the three-year Collen era that ended in the Sweet 16, Baylor returns to the Foster Pavilion after leading the conference in wins over ranked opponents in 2023-24. Driven by a fifth-year vet in Sarah Andrews, the Bears bring back starters Darianna Littlepage-Buggs, Bella Fontleroy and Jada Walker with a notable newcomer from Colorado, Aaronette Vonleh. Collen looks to lead the Bears to their 21^st-consecutive NCAA tournament appearance, the fourth-longest active streak in the nation.
 
Drew and the Bears are poised for another big season on the Brazos, ranked as a preseason top-10 team by several publications. Langston Love, Jayden Nunn and Josh Ojianwuna headline a core group of returners to be joined by another stellar recruiting class rated as high as No. 4 by On3.com. The only team to be a top-3 seed in the last four NCAA Tournaments, Drew and the Bears are also the only team in the conference with at least 11 Big 12 wins in the last five seasons.
