As anticipated even before the announcement that Baylor would be missing Adam Flagler (illness) and LJ Cryer (back), the Tarleton State Texans (5-4, 0-0) gave the Baylor Bears (7-2) a fight in the first half before the Bears talent and physicality lifted them to an 80-57 victory in the second half.
With tonight’s win, Flo Thamba became Baylor’s winningest player in program history. This was his 100th win. Scott Drew said after the game that he played with strep throat. He added that Cryer was suffering from back tightness this morning and wasn’t able to get loose enough to play today.
