NCAA Preview: Xavier and Baylor

6. Xavier is equally as good on offense and defense, which basically means that they are about average on both ends of the floor in terms of efficiency. They weathered through a tougher schedule than most seeds under No. 5, and they have the 50th-highest SRS according to Sports Reference. However, these statistics do not do them justice due to some terrible play during stretches due to the infamous brawl with Cincinnati. This talented squad has put it all together and is playing great basketball. 7. Some people may not think Baylor is a consistent squad, but man are they talented. They play quality defense and have a top 20 offense. It is safe to say that they are one of the top 15 teams in the country in terms of overall efficiency and play, and I can’t wait to see them in the Final Four. That’s right, I’m picking Baylor over Xavier; no upset here. However, nobody would be surprised to see Tu and Xavier in the Final Four.
