How does a team shoot 30% from the floor, 29% from deep, and still win by 15? They play Texas, a team that looks moribund offensively in what increasingly looks to be Shaka Smart’s final season in Austin. Texas was 18-51 from the floor (35%), 3-15 from three (20%), and 5-15 from the line (30%). They forced Baylor into only 8 turnovers and allowed a massive 20 offensive rebounds. The mantra “win your clunkers” rarely applies to such cushy victories.
MaCio Teague (21 pts, 6 rebs, 1 stl) led all scorers by a wide margin. He was persistent all night going to the rim against mismatches and findings ways to get open for threes off screens.
