LJ Cryer had 19 points, one rebounds, three assists, and one steal. Adam Flagler added 16 points, six rebounds, and five assists in the loss.
Through seven games, Baylor is scoring 88.1 points per game, shooting 50.3% from the field, and assisting on 20.3 made shots. The Bears are allowing 71.7 points, grabbing 36.4 rebounds, blocking 3.0 shots, and stealing the ball 9.4 times.
Gonzaga Bulldogs
Gonzaga played Xavier, in the Phil Knight Legacy Tournament, and earned a tight 88-84 win. This was a fun game that saw the Bulldogs lead by six at the half, but the Musketeers come fight back to take the lead late in the second. Gonzaga did not panic and came back to win but did not cover the eight-point spread.
Julian Strawther had 23 points, nine rebounds, three assists, and one steal. Anton Watson added 16 points, seven rebounds, two assists, and three steals in the win.
After seven games, Gonzaga is scoring 83.7 points per game, shooting 51.8% from the field, and assisting on 15.7 made shots. The Bulldogs are allowing 76.7 points, grabbing 37.7 rebounds, blocking 3.4 shots, and stealing the ball 6.9 times.
