Career nights from Matthew Mayer and LJ Cryer pushed the Baylor Bears (16-2, 4-2) to a 77-68 win over the West Virginia Mountaineers (13-4, 2-3).
After dropping the previous two games at home, Baylor desperately needed a win tonight. The challenge was elevated with James Akinjo and Jeremy Sochan both out with injury. Even short-handed, Baylor held a double-digit lead into the waning seconds of the game.
Matthew Mayer scored 20 points with 4 steals and just loves playing in West Virginia. He scored 18 points in the same arena last season. It must be the mullet.
