Postgame Takeaways: #2 Baylor 93, Central Arkansas 56

#2 Baylor (7-0) used a 19-2 run coming out of the second half to build a 30 point plus lead against UCA (1-7) en route to a 93-56 win.  The Bears have a quick turnaround to a game versus Alcorn State (0-4) tomorrow at 2pm CST in Waco.  

Positives

• Forced 24 turnovers (+14 in turnover margin)
• Despite allowing 12-26 on three pointers, the Bears only allowed 0.71 points per possession.  
• 12 assists for Davion Mitchell.  2.5 assists to turnover ratio as a team.  
• Great efforts from Matthew Mayer and Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua off the bench.  Active on both ends of the court.  
• Jared Butler had it cooking offensively in the first half but also made the “right plays” in the second half.  Loved all the backdoor cuts.  Teague scored on a handful of layups from those.  

Needs Improvement

• Perimeter defense (12-26) needs to get cleaned up.
• A little sloppy on the turnovers (8 in first half)
• Only 9 offensive rebounds.  Usually over 10 each game.  Normally we grab 40% of misses and only 24% today.  Mark Vital’s rebounding numbers have been down, doesn’t seem like he’s as quick to the ball.
