Scott Drew has pieced together a bona fide team.
Throughout the game the Bears displayed excellent teamwork on both ends of the floor that helped Johnathan Motley, Manu Lecomte, and Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. to stand out. Motley (17 Pts, 6 Rebs) and Lecomte (18 Pts, 4-5 3PT, 7 Ast) came away as Baylor’s only double-digit scorers, but 6 players recorded assists while as a team the Bears assisted 19 of their 25 makes.
On the other end, Lual-Acuil tallied 7 blocks, a number that surpassed Baylor’s team steal total by 2. He paired that with 14 total rebounds, 8 on the defensive end.
