At Moody Coliseum, the Baylor Bears showcased their dominance on the court in an impressive display of teamwork and skill. The team's offensive efforts were led by their ability to convert two-point attempts at a rate of 51 percent, contributing significantly to their total score. Their defensive prowess was equally notable, with the team securing 32 defensive rebounds throughout the game.


The Baylor Bears' scoring was consistent across all four quarters, starting strong with 20 points in the first quarter and closing out with an impressive 23 points in the final quarter. This steady performance underscored their control over the game's pace and momentum. Contributing to this were nine successful three-point shots made from twenty-five attempts, translating into a solid three-point percentage of 36.


On top of that, Baylor excelled in creating scoring opportunities from turnovers by capitalizing on nineteen points off turnovers compared to just five by SMU. The team also demonstrated superior ball movement and decision-making skills as evidenced by their twenty-seven assists leading to an assist-turnover ratio of approximately two.


The Mustangs put up a valiant effort despite falling short against Baylor's robust gameplay. They managed seven steals and one block but struggled with shooting efficiency from both inside and outside the arc compared to Baylor’s higher percentages across these areas.


Looking ahead for fans of the Baylor Bears: The next challenge will be facing off against Oregon Ducks at Ferrell Center located in Waco, Texas. This upcoming game is scheduled for December 3rd at 7 PM Central Time and will be broadcasted nationally on Fox Sports 1 channel two hundred nineteen for those eager to follow along as it unfolds live.
