Clash at Ferrell Center: Baylor Bears to Host Northern Colorado Bears

As the Baylor Bears prepare to welcome the Northern Colorado Bears to the Ferrell Center, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying matchup. The upcoming game scheduled on November 15 is set against a backdrop of impressive performances by the BAY team, which suggests that they are poised for another dominant display on their home court.

In their recent outing on November 12 against Norfolk State Spartans, BAY showcased a high-octane offense coupled with relentless defense. Scoring 87 points and shooting an impressive 49 percent from the field, including nearly 40 percent from beyond the arc, they demonstrated their ability to spread out defenses and capitalize from all areas of the court. Their two-point shooting was particularly lethal at 68 percent accuracy. Moreover, BAY's defensive prowess was evident as they racked up 12 steals and capitalized with 23 points off turnovers.


Another notable performance came earlier in November when BAY faced Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils. In that game, BAY's offensive firepower was on full display as they put up a staggering 117 points while maintaining over a 50 percent field goal percentage. Their rebounding dominance was clear with a total of 53 rebounds—21 of those being offensive boards—allowing them multiple second-chance opportunities which led to an additional 27 points.


The Northern Colorado Bears will have their work cut out for them if these trends continue. While UNCO brings its own set of skills and strategies into this contest, it is hard not to recognize that they are up against a team in fine form both offensively and defensively.


Baylor's depth has been key; contributions across the roster have allowed them to maintain intensity without relying too heavily on any single player. This balanced attack could prove overwhelming for UNCO’s defense unless they can disrupt BAY’s rhythm early on.


Given these factors—the recent high-scoring games by Baylor coupled with their home-court advantage—it would not be surprising if we witness another commanding performance by Baylor come game day.


Fans eager to catch this exciting encounter can tune in via ESPN+ or attend in person at Waco's Ferrell Center where tip-off is scheduled for November 15 at what translates locally into an evening start time of just before sunset (7:00 PM CST).
