Like the ball crashing off the glass, No. 6 Baylor men’s basketball grabbed the Big 12 opener by the horns with a 56-44 victory over Texas, Saturday in the Ferrell Center.
Defense was the name of the game as the Bears held the Longhorns to the fewest points that they’ve held a Big 12 opponent to since 2015, and the fewest points in the Shaka Smart era. Despite a field goal percentage of 31.3 and a three-point percentage of 29.4, Baylor was able to take advantage of strong rebounding and all-around team effort to come away with a double-digit lead.
