Baylor became the number ranked team in the country for the first time in program history on Monday. Tuesday night, it found out just how difficult it is to play with that target on its back.
Baylor trailed from the opening tip and yielded under the Mountaineers’ full court press Wednesday, as the Bears fell 89-68 on the road in Morgantown, W.Va.
Sophomore guard Jake Lindsay said the failure to break the press was a team effort.
“Top to bottom, we didn’t do a good job handling the press with our head up,” Lindsay said.
