Baylor Basketball: 2020-21 takeaways from win over TCU Horned Frogs
By Andrew Tineo
Offense gets off to a horrendous start
What has been the trend over the past three games has been the slow starts from the offense. After shooting lights out from the field to begin the year, it has taken a little of a nosedive. The Bears hit one three the entire first half and no one was in double figures.
For an offense that averaged 93 points per game heading into this matchup, it was a bit alarming. The Bears had their first deficit at half of the season and the most they were behind by, which was four.
The constant shooting from the perimeter and isolation really kept Baylor out of their own way. The Bears were getting good looks, but the shots were not falling. The Bears finished 58 percent from the free throw line, which is well below their 77 percent average. Overall, the Bears were simply not themselves and are a warning for future contests.
The Bears quite possibly have their toughest slate of the season coming up, with three straight ranked opponents. They cannot afford to have any more halves like the first. If they do, another team will take advantage and put the Bears on upset alert.
