Baylor Bears Set to Host Cincinnati Bearcats at Ferrell Center in Waco
As the Baylor Bears prepare to welcome the Cincinnati Bearcats to the Ferrell Center in Waco, fans are anticipating a thrilling encounter. The upcoming game, scheduled for January 14th, will showcase the Bears' recent dominant form on their home court.
The Baylor Bears have been on an impressive run, with their last home game against Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils ending in a resounding victory with a score of 107-48. The team's offensive prowess was on full display as they shot an outstanding 67 percent from the field and an exceptional 63 percent from beyond the arc. Their defense was equally formidable, forcing 20 turnovers and converting them into 28 points.
However, it's not just their scoring that has been turning heads; their teamwork has shone through as well. With a remarkable assist-to-turnover ratio of 3:1 against Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils, it's clear that ball movement and unselfish play have been key components of their strategy.
Despite this strong performance at home, Baylor faced challenges away from Ferrell Center. In New York against Duke Blue Devils, they were edged out with a final score of 70-78. While they maintained solid shooting percentages—44 percent from three-point range and overall field goal percentage hovering around 44 percent—their rebounding numbers were less dominant than usual.
In another away game at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit against Michigan State Spartans, Baylor scored fewer points (64) compared to previous games but managed to keep up their fast-break scoring with another strong showing of 17 points. However, turnovers proved costly as they gave up more possessions than they would have liked.
Returning to Ferrell Center could provide the boost Baylor needs to maintain its winning momentum. The venue has proven advantageous for them before and could be again when facing Cincinnati Bearcats.
