In the first 12 minutes of the first half, the Xavier Musketeers didn't appear to belong on the same floor as the Baylor Bears. At one stage of the game, they trailed by 17 points. However, they picked it up in the final eight minutes of the half and stopped turning the ball over, while forcing Baylor to cough it up on multiple occasions. Despite their big start, Baylor only leads 36-29 at halftime.

Quincy Acy leads Baylor with eight points and six rebounds. Two of those points came on this monstrous dunk.
