Five Baylor (6-0) players scored in double figures led by LJ Cryer's 15 points as the Bears defeated the Golden Lions of Arkansas Pine Bluff (1-8) 99-42.  The Bears are off for Christmas and play back to back games on 12/30 and 12/31 before reigniting Big12 play.  

Positives

• The Bears did what great teams do, destroyed their opponent out of the gate in taking a 55-12 halftime lead and cruising to a 57 point victory.  
• 25 assists to only 5 turnovers is terrific.  The Bears forced 23 turnovers on the other end.  
• Shooting percentages were all good 52% from the field; 48% from 3 and 82% from the foul line.  
• Played with energy and passion all game.  Only a handful of bad possessions on both ends of the court.  
• 13 assists between Butler and Mitchell.  Those guys along with Vital set the tone for unselfishness on the team.  

Needs Work

• Hard to find flaws in this performance but the Bears did give up 12 offensive rebounds.  
• Allowed a double double from Shaun Doss (25 points and 10 rebounds).  

Merry Christmas to the Baylor basketball team, look forward to following this team’s journey towards a Big12 and national championship.
