Baylor (4-0) knocked off Stephen F. Austin (3-1) 83-52.
The Bears take on Texas at 2:00 on Sunday in the Ferrell Center. That game airs on ESPN.
Here are five takeaways:
1) Baylor’s defense played exceptionally well:
They held SFA to .675 points per possession, which is the lowest total in the 12 years of tracking data on Bart Torvik’s website (though the road game at Texas last year might overtake it when the adjusted data gets posted).
The Bears forced 35 turnovers. They took a bevy of charges. And before inserting the 2023 Bears in the final four minutes, they had an even bigger defensive edge.
