Manhattan, Kansas- In normal times, the Octagon of Doom is one of the Big 12’s most intimidating arenas. As the last nine months have reminded everyone, there is nothing normal about this era, and for the few thousand of us lucky enough to see Baylor in person, there’s something abnormal about how dominant Baylor is offensively.
The Bears entered the contest No. 3 in adjusted offensive efficiency. With the Big 12’s Preseason Player of the Year (Jared Butler), possibly its best player through four games (Davion Mitchell), the reigning Big 12 Newcomer of the Year (MaCio Teague) and Mark Vital and Matthew Mayer back, the Bears figured to have a fantastic offense.
