Baylor Bears Dominate at Ferrell Center in Women's Basketball Showdown Against Delaware State Hornets
The Baylor Bears, ranked 10th, showcased their dominance on the court with a resounding victory over the Delaware State Hornets at the Ferrell Center. The home team's record now stands at an impressive 99-37 against their opponents.
The Baylor Bears' performance was nothing short of exceptional as they took control from the outset. The first quarter saw them put up 21 points to the Hornets' 11, setting the tone for what would be a one-sided affair. By halftime, the Bears had extended their lead significantly with a scoreline that read 37-17.
Offensively, Baylor was unstoppable; they shot an impressive 48 percent from field goal range and an even more remarkable 57 percent for two-point attempts. Their scoring was spread across all four quarters with particularly high tallies in the third and fourth quarters where they scored 29 and 33 points respectively.
Defensively, Baylor was just as formidable. They racked up six blocks and made it difficult for Delaware State to find any rhythm, holding them to a mere 21 percent shooting from field goals and an abysmal 14 percent from beyond the arc. The relentless pressure resulted in a total of sixteen steals by Baylor and contributed to twenty-one turnovers by Delaware State.
The Bears also excelled in rebounding with sixty-four rebounds compared to twenty-seven by their opponents. This included twenty-three offensive rebounds which led to twenty-nine second-chance points – highlighting their tenacity on both ends of the floor.
Delaware State struggled throughout; however, they did manage to convert free throws at a commendable rate of seventy-nine percent but this silver lining wasn't enough against such overwhelming odds.
