MBB to face Mississippi State in second round of NIT

By Ben Everett | Sports Writer

No. 1-seed Baylor men’s basketball will take on No. 4-seed Mississippi State at 11 a.m. Sunday at the Ferrell Center.

The Bears (19-14) are coming off of an 80-59 opening round win over Wagner on Tuesday to move to 11-1 in the NIT under head coach Scott Drew.

Two Baylor players were injured in the win, however. Junior guard Jake Lindsey injured his hip and freshman forward Tristan Clark hurt his foot.

Drew said both players are tough and would play if they were just dinged up.

“Both of them are tough kids,” Drew said.
