First, I g.nosaesrabbed the game schedule and some basic info. This game happened on December 28th, and it was clear from the get-go that Baylor was the favorite. They're ranked high, and Northwestern State has been having a rough season.
Getting the Game Data
I started digging into the live stats. Every website that covers college basketball had them. I was checking these in real-time, seeing the scores change, and noting who was doing what. It was pretty exciting, like being at the game without actually being there.
Watching the Plays Unfold
Here's where it gets interesting. I was following the play-by-play. For example, I saw that at the 19:43 mark, there was a good dunk by Missi, putting Baylor up by 2. I wrote that down, noting the score and the player.
- 19:43 - Missi scores a dunk. Baylor leads 2-0.
I kept doing this for every major play. It was a lot of back and forth, but Baylor's defense was just too strong. They were holding Northwestern State to only 25% shooting, which is crazy low.
Key Players
Now, let's talk about the players. On Northwestern State's side, Kendal Coleman was a big deal. The guy's averaging 15.3 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. Cedric Garrett was also doing his part, but it wasn't enough.
- Kendal Coleman - Averaging 15.3 points and 8.5 rebounds.
- Cedric Garrett - Key contributor for the Demons.
For Baylor, Akinjo and Flagler were on fire, especially in the first half. They hit six 3-pointers and scored 31 points together. That's huge!
- Akinjo and Flagler - Hot shooting, six 3-pointers, 31 points in the first half.
Putting It All Together
So, I compiled all these notes, play-by-play, player stats, and scores. Baylor ended up winning 104-68. It was a blowout, but it was still cool to track everything and see how it all came together.
I did this for the whole game, and it was a fun way to keep up with the action. Plus, I have a neat little record of the game, which is always a bonus.
