In their last game against Seton Hall Pirates, the Bears secured a convincing 78-60 victory. Their offensive efficiency was evident with an impressive field goal percentage of 51 and an even more striking three-point percentage of 46. The team also demonstrated balance on both ends of the floor, outrebounding their opponents by three and blocking six shots.


Prior to that, Baylor faced off against Northwestern State Demons and delivered a resounding win with a scoreline of 91-40. The team's shooting accuracy was on display once again as they hit over half their field goals and maintained solid defense by limiting the Demons to just 25 percent from the field.


The trend continued against Nicholls State Colonels where Baylor notched up an overwhelming 108-70 win. Their offensive machinery churned out high efficiency with a remarkable three-point shooting rate of 61 percent while dishing out an exceptional number of assists leading to an assist-turnover ratio nearing three.


These statistics suggest that Baylor is in formidable form as they approach this upcoming game. Their ability to convert shots efficiently from beyond the arc coupled with strong defensive rebounding gives them momentum going into this matchup.


The Ferrell Center has been nothing short of a fortress for Baylor; its vibrant atmosphere could play a significant role in propelling them towards another victory. Fans can expect aggressive offense from deep, staunch defending under the rim, and perhaps another showcase of why they are one of college basketball's teams to watch this season.


Baylor enthusiasts should mark their calendars for December 23rd when these two teams face off at Waco's Ferrell Center. Tip-off is scheduled for midnight UTC (7 PM Central Time), and followers can catch live action on ESPN+.
