Last season's analytics show that the Bears had a solid performance overall. With an average of 77 points per game and shooting 46 percent from the field, they proved to be an offensive threat. Their free throw percentage stood at 70 percent while their true shooting percentage was impressive at 56 percent. From beyond the arc, they shot 34 percent and were even more efficient with two-point shots at around 54 percent.


Defensively, Baylor averaged about 16 personal fouls per game which is relatively disciplined. They also demonstrated strong defensive capabilities with an average of nearly nine steals and over three blocks per game. Rebounding was another area of strength for them as they pulled down approximately 34 rebounds each contest.


However, turnovers were a bit of a concern as they averaged close to twelve per game last season. This is one area where fans will hope to see improvement during this match-up against Iowa State.


The Bears' assist-to-turnover ratio reflected their ability to share the basketball effectively with nearly sixteen assists per game compared to their turnover numbers from last season.


As we approach this highly anticipated match-up on March 9th at T-Mobile Center in Kansas City, Missouri, fans can expect a competitive battle between these two teams. The action will unfold live on ESPN (channel 206) starting at 17:30 local time (UTC+0). Fans should look forward to seeing if Baylor can maintain its offensive efficiency while tightening up ball security against a formidable opponent like Iowa State Cyclones.
