Don’t let the final score of 88-77 in Italy’s favor fool you — this game was all about seeing what kind of player the Baylor Bears will have in Keyonte George this season.
Let me just put you all on high alert: Baylor has never had a player the caliber of George.
George is the highest rated guard Baylor has ever recruited, and the reports coming in were that he’s a threat to score from anywhere at any time. Against Italy, he proved that out. He scored 32 points in 27 minutes, going 10-18 from the floor, 6-12 from 3PT, 6-8 FT with 4 assists, 4 turnovers, and a steal.
