There was a point early in Saturday’s game when Northwestern State head coach Rick Cabrera said, “You just have to look across and say they’re a better team than we are.”

No. 9 Baylor men’s basketball held the Demons to 25% field goal shooting and rolled to a 91-40 victory Saturday night in the Ferrell Center. Cabrera said he was “in awe” at how dominant the Bears were.

“That’s a team that can win a national championship,” Cabrera said. “They have NBA size at every position and NBA talent. You come in here at the start of the game and try to win it, but as time goes on you just focus on getting better.
