Last year it was Iowa State in Auburn Arena. This season for the SEC/Big 12 Challenge, Bruce Pearl’s team will be traveling to Waco, Texas to face Baylor.
The announcement came out on Wednesday morning along with the other matchups in the annual event. The Bears are expected to be one of the top teams in the country this under. In a way-too-early ranking released by ESPN, Scott Drew’s team came in as the top-ranked team for 2020-21.
Baylor finished last season 26-4 (15-3 Big 12) and ranked No. 4 when the season was suspended due to COVID-19.
