After a 15-point win against Utah on Saturday, the Bears find themselves clashing with a sharpshooting BYU offense in one of the most intimidating environments in the Big 12 at 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah.
Baylor men’s basketball (13-6, 5-3 Big 12) is riding a two-game winning streak, led by freshman wing VJ Edgecombe’s recent scoring outburst of 51 points across the matchups. Fifth-year forward Norchad Omier rallied behind Edgecombe with his ninth double-double of the year against the Utes.
“I thought we got a lot more aggressive offensively and defensively,” head coach Scott Drew said about the Bears’ 22-3 first-half run against Utah.
