Postgame Podcast & Thoughts: Baylor 111, Southern 67

Baylor (9-2) explodes for 71 points in the second half en route to a 111-67 rout over Southern (4-8). Tounde Yessoufou leads the Bears in scoring with 28 points. 

Positives

• Beautiful offensive performance, particularly the second half (71 points). 1.59 points per possession is tremendous. 28 assists to only four turnovers is a masterpiece.  
• Loved seeing the enthusiasm from the team when Will Kuykendall (2-2) and Drew Perry (1-1) nailed their 3-point attempts at the end of the game.  
• I thought that was a well-coached team that will probably win the SWAC. Baylor thumped them pretty good. Southern ran some good offensive sets.  
• Caden Powell = Freddie Gillespie, so many similarities in how they affect the game with rebounding, communication and pick setting. 
• Let the Big Bear cook! Tounde Yessoufou is a tremendous post-up weapon if he gets caught on a smaller guard.  

Concerns

• Not many after a performance like this. Let’s welcome a big man addition and get on a roll in Big12 play.
