Assessing Baylor MBB Non-Conference Play

Baylor Men’s Basketball finished their non-conference slate with a 10-2 record, which while respectable for most programs in the country, is the worst start for the Bears since the 2018-2019 season. Large losses to #13 Virginia and unranked Marquette overshadow narrow wins over #10 Gonzaga and #11 UCLA. Baylor finds itself behind both Kansas and Texas in the rankings (polls and KenPom) as we enter conference play.

Below is a summary of what the statistics tell us about the team thus far, beginning with assessments of individual players and concluding with the team’s overall strengths and weaknesses.

Our leading shot taker is Keyonte George — almost 22% of the team’s shot attempts have come from the highly touted Freshman.
