Baylor Blasts Washington 86-52; Bears are 2-0!

Behind another phenomenal shooting day, and a better defensive performance, Baylor overwhelmed Washington 86-52. The Bears are 2-0 and will take on Illinois at 9:00 p.m. on Wednesday in Indianapolis.

After a defensive effort that left acting head coach Jerome Tang a bit upset against Louisiana yesterday, the Bears shut down Washington’s attack. Baylor held the Huskies to .8 points per possession (PPP), which is worse than the nation’s worst offense averages. The Bears did a nice job forcing turnovers, and they made life difficult for Washington’s shooters. The Bears forced 14 turnovers, while Washington had just 12 assists.
