Rough First Half

My Baylor Bears made the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament for the first time since 1988 (and only the 2nd time since 1950).  Their first round game is today, and is currently at the half.

Not a great start for the Bears.  Purdue is very well coached and disciplined.  They play hard and aggressive defense, reminding me somewhat of Coach K's Duke teams.  Baylor is down by 19 points, a deficit fueled by a mix of sloppy ballhandling and turnovers, some horse shots from the Boilermakers, and that tough defense i mentioned.  Purdue also has an edge on the offensive glass on their end, one part effort and one part lucky bounces.

Sic 'em, Bears!
