Shooting Explains Almost Everything: Baylor Basketball’s Big Problem

Baylor has lost four games to teams that will either not make the NCAA Tournament or will get bounced quickly as automatic qualifiers.

When a team losses those kind of games, everything gets blamed. But it’s quite simple for Baylor: the team can’t shoot.

The Bears entered the Stephen F. Austin game 307th in 3-point percentage, making just 29.7% of 3-point attempts. They proceeded to go 4-of-24 (16.7%) from three. Now they’re 322nd in that category. Among power seven teams, only Texas A&M is a worse from beyond the arc.

Baylor’s also terrible at hitting free throws.
