No. 18 Baylor men’s basketball battled UCF for the first time ever, and behind redshirt sophomore guard Langston Love’s career-high 24 points, the Bears snapped their three-game skid with a 77-69 win on Wednesday in the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Fla.
After a triple-overtime loss to TCU on Saturday, head coach Scott Drew and the Bears (15-5, 4-3 Big 12) found a way to get back in the win column. Baylor assisted on 19 of 24 made baskets and received 32 points from its bench. The 3-point stroke also returned to non-conference form as the Bears finished 9-of-20 from beyond the arc.
