Baylor Bears to Host Delaware State Hornets at Ferrell Center in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Baylor Bears prepare to host the Delaware State Hornets at the Ferrell Center, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an electrifying game of women's basketball. The Bears have been on a tear recently, and their performance on December 3 against the Oregon Ducks was nothing short of dominant. With a commanding 71-51 victory, Baylor showcased their depth and defensive prowess by racking up an impressive 15 steals and maintaining a solid assists turnover ratio of 1.5.
The Bears' offense has been firing on all cylinders as well. In their last three games, they've averaged over 80 points per contest, including a staggering 93-point outburst against Alcorn State Lady Braves on November 26. Their shooting from inside the paint has been particularly effective; they hit an astounding 72 percent of two-point attempts in that game.
Delaware State Hornets will certainly have their work cut out for them when they step onto the court in Waco. While DSU brings its own set of skills to the table, they'll need to be wary of BAY's fast-paced offense which has consistently exploited defenses with quick breaks leading to easy baskets.
One area where DSU could potentially challenge BAY is beyond the arc. The Hornets will need to capitalize from three-point range if they hope to keep pace with BAY's high-scoring offense. However, given BAY’s recent form and home-court advantage at Ferrell Center—a venue known for its raucous atmosphere—it’s hard not see another win being added to Baylor’s column.
Looking ahead, fans can expect Baylor Bears' defense to set the tone early in this matchup. If past performances are any indication, it wouldn't be surprising to see them force DSU into turnovers and convert those opportunities into points off fast breaks.
The scheduled tip-off is set for December 14 at 11:00 AM Central Time (CT) at Ferrell Center in Waco, Texas – home turf where Baylor will look forward once again demonstrate why they're one of top teams this season.
