Baylor 78, OSU 70 Podcast & Postgame Thoughts

#1 Baylor (21-1; 10-0) grinds out a 78-70 victory against Oklahoma State (11-12; 1-9) in Waco.  The Bears were led by 24 points from Macio Teague.  Baylor travels to Austin to take on the Longhorns Monday night at 8pm CST.  

Observations

• Bench gave us very little production tonight; 4 points on 2-10 shooting; 3 rebounds; 3 assists; 3 turnovers.  Need our bench to be more productive.  
• Excellent floor games from our point guards overall.  11 assists and only 1 turnover from Butler and Mitchell.  
• Free throw shooting was bad again.  20-33 on the night but that was 14-27 before making our last 6.  We missed multiple front end of 1 and 1s.  That must improve or we are going to take some Ls.  
• Got beat up in the paint and on the glass tonight.  OSU was 17-34 from two point range (50%) and they outrebounded the Bears 38-30.  
• Won the turnover battle 15-9, that is positive.  
• Jared Butler and Freddie Gillespie made some key plays when the game was tight in the second half.  
• No one said the road to 38-1 was going to be paved with blowouts.  Beat Texas!
