Xavier vs Baylor live stream: Watch online

Here’s how you can watch Saturday afternoon’s Xavier vs Baylor game from Waco online.

This might just be the game of the week. The No. 7 Xavier Musketeers have an unblemished record through seven games and it looks like they will be Final Four favorites once again. Why are they so good? They shoot well, pass well, defend well and can rebound.

Trevon Bluiett leads the team in scoring, which isn’t much of a surprise. Even though this team lost some talent after last season, he has stepped up and played well. The junior guard is averaging 17.7 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, but his three-point percentage needs work.

J.P. Macura and Edmond Sumner both average in double figures. However, none of the top three scorers on the team are shooting over 35 percent from three-point range, which is somewhat surprising.

Who would have thought Baylor would start the season 7-0 with a Battle 4 Atlantis title and victories over Michigan State, Oregon, Louisville and VCU along the way. This team is looking more legitimate by the passing week.

Johnathan Motley is the guy to watch for the Bears. The 6-foot-10 junior forward has been a monster in the post this season, averaging 16.2 points and 8.2 rebounds per game. If Baylor wants to make a deep run in March, it will be on his shoulders.

Baylor is athletic, but it doesn’t put up a ton of points. The Bears average just 73 points per game and aren’t all that deep. This might be a problem down the stretch, but right now it doesn’t look like anyone can beat them.
