Staying for Seconds: Baylor's Second Half Powers Bears to Big 12 Semis

Full column after I get quotes in the locker room. For now, we bullet. 

*Don’t sleep on the first half defense- Baylor held Cincy to just .77 points per possession. Baylor normally gives up over a point per possession, so it’s first half mark was not only elite, but it was a giant gain for the Bears. 

Baylor stayed active in the zone. The Bears made it so Cincy never got comfortable. Without such a strong defensive effort, the Bearcats pull away early.
