With starting center Josh Ojianwuna out for the year with a knee injury, Baylor struggled to contain Houston Monday night at the Fertitta Center. The No. 6-ranked Cougars forced 15 turnovers in a commanding 76-65 victory.
Down its only 7-foot rotation player, Baylor’s lack of size was put on display early. Out of the gate, the Bears shaded a full-court press on defense before settling back into a variation of a 1-3-1 zone. That made the man in the middle, freshman point guard Robert O Wright III (6-foot-1, 183 pounds), the de facto defender on Houston forward Joseph Tugler (6-foot-7, 230 pounds), who camped out in the high post.
