Postgame Podcast & Takeaways: #12 Baylor 85 Nicholls St 56

#12 Baylor (10-2) gets to win number 10 after beating Nicholls State (6-7).  The Bears were led by 21 points from Keyonte George, 20 from Adam Flagler, 17 from Langston Love and a double double from Joshua Ojianwuna (11 points, 11 rebounds).  

Good

• Great defense the last 16 minutes only allowing 15 points after Nicholls State pulled within 6 points early in the second half.  The Bears outscored Nicholls 39-15 to close out the game. 
• There has been an emphasis to be better on the glass.  Tonight the Bears outrebounded Nicholls State by 11 (45-34).
• 3 point efficiency on offense and defense.  The Bears shot 46% on offense (11-24).  And they only allowed 11% from Nicholls (2-18).  
• Loved the number of charges Baylor took.  Bonner’s defense continues to impress but Bridges and Flagler deserve lots of praise as well.  
• What a lift our bench gave us tonight.  Langston Love (17 points) and Joshua Ojianwuna (11 points and 11 rebounds) had great games.  
• Flo sets amazing screens and continues to help us make winning plays.  The same can be said for Dale Bonner with his defense and facilitating.  

Needs Work

• Too many layups at the rim for Nicholls State, we will get crushed against some teams in Big12 play if we allow things to be so comfortable around the rim. 
• Turnovers... way too sloppy with the ball.  You would love to see that number start behing 12 or less. 
• Getting everyone playing together in games.  LJ Cryer missed tonight’s game with concussion protocol.
