Yeah, I thought Baylor played solidly on D even in the first half. Just because a tough shot goes in doesn't mean it was bad defense. Xavier shot an amazing percentageon the mid-range teardrop/floater. Even banked one in. I thought we played really well on defense.
I thought Kalk looked a little tired in the second half, as he didn't seem to have any bounce in his legs. Didn't get to a couple of boards and missed a few shots that were normally be blocks. But, his presence still led to a possession with two horrendously missed bunnies, including one that air balled. Even when he isn't blocking shots, he is elite.
