VJ Edgecombe scored a career-high 30 points, becoming the first Baylor men’s basketball freshman to do so since Keyonte George scored 32 against West Virginia on Jan. 11, 2023, as the Bears rallied back from a 12-point deficit to take down Kansas State, 70-62, Wednesday night at Foster Pavilion.
“I knew we had to win,” Edgecombe said. “I was just doing anything to win, because I knew they were going to key on me when I drive.”
The match marked head coach Scott Drew’s first win over longtime assistant Jerome Tang, who held a 3-0 record against the green and gold heading into his first contest at the Pavilion.
