As the Baylor Bears prepare to face off against the Saint Louis Billikens at Hertz Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The upcoming game promises to be a thrilling encounter in women's basketball, but let's delve into what we can expect based on past performances.
The Baylor Bears have shown resilience and tactical prowess throughout their recent games. Despite a narrow loss to the Maryland Terrapins with a score of 68-73 on November 20th, the Bears displayed commendable defensive efforts with 10 steals and an assist-turnover ratio of 1.8. Their ability to disrupt plays and convert turnovers into points was evident as they scored 22 points off turnovers.
In another close game against SMU Mustangs on November 16th, where they emerged victorious with a score of 58-55, it was their rebounding that stood out. The team hauled in an impressive total of 49 rebounds, including crucial offensive boards that led to second-chance points tallying up to 16.
However, it is essential for the Bears to address their shooting efficiency from beyond the arc and from the free-throw line. Shooting only around 21 percent from three-point range and approximately 55 percent from the charity stripe against Maryland indicates room for improvement if they want consistent victories.
On offense, Baylor has been able to rely on its ability to score in the paint; accumulating an impressive total of 34 points inside against Maryland showcases their strength under the basket.
The Saint Louis Billikens will pose a unique challenge for BAY; however, if past games are any indication, BAY has demonstrated both tenacity and skill that could very well tip this match-up in their favor. It will be imperative for them not only maintain their defensive intensity but also capitalize on scoring opportunities when presented – especially by improving those free throw numbers which could prove pivotal in tight contests.
Looking ahead at SLU’s performance so far this season would suggest that BAY must keep vigilant defense throughout all four quarters while exploiting any weaknesses SLU may exhibit during gameplay transitions or within their defensive setups.
