Each game this season, we'll provide the current tempo-free statistics for Baylor and its opponent. (For more information on tempo-free statistics, see our primer here.)
Today, the Bears play San Diego State at 2:00 as part of ESPN's 24 hr college basketball kickoff.
All of the following statistics are provided courtesy of KenPom.com, the great resource for tempo-free college basketball statistics.

There is a ton of noise in these numbers, because it is so early in the season, but here are a few key things to focus on:
- Rebounding Baylor shots - Baylor has been great this year rebounding its own misses, while SDSU has done a great job keeping its opponents out of second chance opportunities.
- Baylor getting to the foul line - Baylor has been great this year at creating contact and getting free throw opportunities, while SDSU has been one of the least foul-prone teams in the country.
- SDSU shooting - SDSU is off to a decent start shooting the ball this year, but Baylor has been very effective in harassing its opponents shots.
- Ball protection - both teams have been net positive in turnover margin this year.

Baylor shooting 25% so far and down 4 to SDSU.
Can’t hit water if they fell from a boat.

Did I miss the fact that BOBO is redshirting somewhere?
Franschilla mentioned it
"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
"The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."
meaning you believe they will pull the redshirt if they get thin enough?
"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."

isnt there a Cory Jefferson parallel here
I think they may be likely to stick to their guns and hope for a Udoh lightning in a bottle reincarnation I think
"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."
"The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."
I could have sworn I saw him in the game today.
Must have been Jefferson.
