By Gio Gennero | Sports Writer

No. 2 Baylor men’s basketball continued their undefeated season with a stellar defensive performance against No. 6 Villanova University for a 57-36 victory on Sunday afternoon in the Ferrell Center to propel the Bears to 9-0 on the season.

Going into the game, Villanova had the No. 4 offense in the nation, but it proved to be no match for Baylor’s defense which held the Wildcats to their lowest scoring game under head coach Jay Wright. Head coach Scott Drew attributed the defense to the players and staff, as well as the Ferrell Center crowd.
