The team's average assists per game last season stood at 14.7, suggesting that they favor a collaborative approach towards creating scoring opportunities.


Rebounding will also be crucial for maintaining possession and generating second-chance points; with an average of nearly 32 rebounds per game previously, Baylor seems well-equipped in this aspect as well.
