A nonleague matchup between Gonzaga and Baylor is reportedly set to take place during the opening week of the 2024-25 college basketball season, according to CB
and Baylor is reportedly set to take place during the opening week of the 2024-25 college basketball season, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander.
“They’re gonna play Gonzaga barring something falling through — which won’t happen, Few and Scott Drew are very, very tight,” Norlander said. “They’re gonna play Gonzaga in the first week of the season. Sounds like that game’s location is to be determined … I think Sin City is going to be the spot for Gonzaga-Baylor in the first week of the season.”
The probable top 25 matchup would be quite the start to the season for two teams hoping to make deep NCAA Tournaments in 2025. Baylor, which has finished in the top 16 of KenPom in each of the last five seasons, is projected to continue that trend as the No. 14 team in Bart Torvik’s 2024-25 projections. Despite losing four of five starters from last season’s 24-11 team, Drew brought in quite the riches of talent this offseason to make up for the losses.
Drew’s also brought back 6-foot-4 guard Jayden Nunn, who started all 35 games as a junior, and 6-foot-5 wing Langston Love. Baylor is ranked No. 6 on ESPN’s way-too-early top 25 rankings and is No. 7 on CBS Sports’ Top 25 and 1 from Parrish.
