Postgame Podcast: #3 Seed Baylor 68 #11 Seed Cincinnati 56

Positives

• Great defense by the Bears holding Cincy to 56 points.  The zone gave the Bearcats fits.  
• Energy from Caleb Lohner and Jayden Nunn in the first half kept Baylor close after another slow start.  Lohner comes off the bench for 5 points and 7 rebounds.  
• Second half efforts from Missi, Walter, Bridges and Dennis.  After combining for 1-16 from the field in the first half and only 8 points among them, they flipped the script in the second half going a combined 15-27 from the field and yielding 40 points between the 4.  
• Good job getting to the foul line.  The Bears hit 12 more free throws than Cincy which was the margin of victory.  
• Another dominating rebounding performance against a great rebounding team.  Cincy is one of the best rebounding teams in the country and the Bears controlled the glass (39-27).  

Needs Work

• Slow starts, can’t do it against better teams.  Fall down 10-1 tonight.  
• Too many turnovers:  15 total but 10 of those in the first half.  Hopefully playing tonight will lead to a better start against Iowa State.  
• Need more of a killer instinct mindset when you are up 14.  Allowed Cincy to go on a 10-0 run and get back in the game.
