Former Desert Vista guard Noah Baumann had his best game in a GCU jsersey since transferring from Georgia, and it came at the right time.
Less than two minutes into the half, coach Bryce Drew took out 7-foot freshman Isaiah Carr and inserted 6-6 Baumann, a graduate student, who lit it up with his best game since leaving Georgia and coming back home.
His 19 points surpassed his prevous GCU high of 14 points in November against Alcorn. He made 7 of 11 shots and 4 of 7 3-pointers. Drew brought him to GCU for his 3-point shooting efficiency. He's been one of the best college 3-point shooters during his career.The Lopes also took care of the ball better in the second half, making just six turnovers after turning it over 11 times in a clunky first half against the worst team in the WAC. UTA fell to 5-12, 0-5 in WAC play.
The Antelopes connected on their first five 3-point tries in the second half to build a 51-38 lead. Baumann had three of those 3s. Harrison converted a four-point play after being fouled while making a 3."I was just trying to be ready the whole time," Baumann said."It was more of the team. I think the first half we didn't understand that at the end of the day it's a conference game. It was going to be a tough game regardless.
"We started out slow in the first minute ," Drew said."We just really shot the ball well in the second half. Noah really shot the ball well. I thought our guards did a really good job finding him." On moving on without Blacksher, Drew said,"It's a different deal. Jovan is a one-man press break. He can dribble through everyone. This was a third straight Texas team we played. They really pressure the ball and try to pin you on the sidelines. They'll trap in the post. These games are making us better. Hopefully, our ball movement will continue to get better."
