MBB: Podcast & Post Game Thoughts Baylor 78 UMES 46
Baylor 78 UMES 46
Positives
- Baylor jumped to a 19-3 lead and never allowed the margin to get closer than 15.
- Controlled the glass 52-35 despite the absence of Tristan Clark
- Jared Butler was really good in the first half to help Baylor build the double digit lead. Butler finished with 20 points and 4 assists.
- Good production off the bench from Devonte Bandoo (14 points; 2-3 three pointers) and Matthew Mayer (12 points; 2-3 three pointers). 13 rebounds between them.
- Great defensive efficiency numbers holding UMES to 0.62 points per possession; 27% from the field and 26% from 3.
- Freddie Gillespie struggled offensively but he was tremendous on the glass (13 rebounds) and defensively (5 blocks and 2 steals).
Concerns
- Valuing the basketball, Vital was reckless. Some out of control drives by Mitchell and Teague. I do love the 9 assists to only 3 turnovers by Teague and Mitchell though. Only 12 turnovers but taking care of the basketball and shot selection were not stellar in this one.
- Tristan Clark’s health. I assume this was all precautionary but it is his second game that he’s missed. This is starting to feel like a Makai Mason situation. Hopefully not, but Makai Mason was very effective when he played.
- After playing with extreme focus against Villanova, you wanted to see a sharper performance heading into Arizona and Butler the next 7 days. Hopefully the Bears look like the team that beat Villanova these next two.
