Baylor mounts record-setting comeback over No. 11 Kansas, 81-70

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

Michael Crichton’s sci-fi thriller “Jurassic Park tells the story of an eccentric mathematician, Dr. Ian Malcolm, who appears to die in the wake of a dinosaur attack — until, sometime before the book’s sequel, he’s apparently brought back to life. It was an impossible comeback, one which didn’t quite make sense but made for a better story.

Baylor men’s basketball followed a similar script at Foster Pavilion on Saturday. The Bears fell behind by 21 points against No. 11 Kansas, lost star freshman VJ Edgecombe to an injury — and somehow, miraculously, came back to life, securing an 81-70 victory in a thriller for the ages.
