After a close halftime score of 31-27, Baylor took control of the game in the second half to beat Southern 80-53.
Unlike the Bears’ first game, the team stayed focused and build on its lead. The man defense remained intense, generating turnovers, while the offense found some success from beyond the arc.
Devonte Bandoo had his breakout game, scoring 25 points on 7-12 FG with 6 rebounds and 3 steals. He was 4-8 from three and a perfect 7-7 from the free throw line. While Baylor won’t rely on him to score 25 every night, it will count on his shooting from deep to spread opposing defenses.
