Baylor didn’t give fans much hope after the first half. They scored 20 points. They put Arizona in the bonus before the first media timeout. And they went 2-of-13 from beyond the arc in the period.
Luckily basketball has two halves. Here are some major stats:
Offensive rebounds: Baylor grabbed an offensive rebound on 57% of their shots. Portland State leads the nation with an offensive rebounding rate of 44.1%. It’s stunning that Arizona allowed Baylor to blow past that number.
52 game home non-conference winning streak: That stat is now dead.
