The Bears, ranked 10th, showcased their superiority throughout the game, maintaining a consistent lead over the unranked Friars. The home team's record now stands at an impressive 10-2 while the visiting team falls to a challenging season with a record of 5-7.

The Baylor Bears' performance was marked by an aggressive defense that resulted in 13 steals and limited Providence to just seven assists.
