Norfolk State Form


Norfolk State go into March Madness on a six-game win streak that clinched Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference honors and the conference tournament title.

The Spartans bounced back from a loss at Morgan State to win their final three home games and finish the regular season 12-2.

Their final two wins saw them blowout North Carolina Central and Howard in emphatic fashion.

In the conference tournament they booked their place in the final by following up a 74-66 win over Delaware State with a 72-63 success against Morgan State.

Norfolk State then claimed the tournament title by cruising past Coppin State, 72-57, in the final.

Baylor Form


Baylor are embarking on a mission to win back-to-back National Championships following their success in 2021.

The Bears, who beat Gonzaga a year ago, ended the regular season with a five-game win streak that included wins over #5 Kansas and #21 Texas.

That victory over the Jayhawks proved decisive as they finished with a joint-best 14-4 record with the Jayhawks.

They went into the conference tournament as one of the favorites to go all the way, but they surprising fell at the first hurdle.

Oklahoma were easily beaten 65-51 when the two teams met in the regular season, but the Sooners got their revenge with a shock 72-67 victory to dump out Baylor in the quarter-finals.
