- The Cowboys fell behind by as many as 14, but managed to chip away at Baylor's lead in the second. Kendall Smith's three-pointer cut the lead to five with the score at 57-52 with 5:21 to go in the game, but that is as close as the Cowboys would get.
- Mitchell Solomon was getting it done on all sides of the floor. The senior posted 13 points, 5 rebounds (3 of which were offensive) and a career-high 4 steals.
- Baylor shot 63.0 percent from the field in the opening half, which is the highest by an opponent in any half this season.
