MBB: Baylor 53, Butler 52 Post Game Reaction and Podcast

#11 Baylor (8-1) beat another top 20 team by defeating #18 Butler (9-1) 53-52 in a defensive minded affair in Waco, TX.  The Bears have a week off before facing Tennessee Martin on 12/18 in Houston.  

Positives

  • Defense and effort was outstanding.  The Bears held Butler to a season low 0.85 points per possession.  
  • Great effort on the glass and protecting the rim by Freddie Gillespie and Mark Vital.  Between them, they grabbed 14 rebounds and blocked 6 shots.  
  • Scott Drew now has 45 wins against top 25 opponents in his tenure. 

Needs Work

  • Offensive flow and shooting.  I trust this staff to figure all that out.  
  • Delivering the knock out punch.  This is the third game this year that Baylor led by a significant margin late in the game and the outcome was either a loss (Washington) or a collapsing lead (Arizona and Butler).  Bears need to figure out how to get distance on the scoreboard.  
  • Ball movement which goes back to #1.  The ball is “sticking” too much.
