Baylor men’s basketball defeated Southern University 80-53 on Saturday at the Ferrell Center to notch its first win of the season.
The Bears (1-1) fell to Texas Southern 72-69 in their season opener on Tuesday, but avoided falling to 0-2 thanks to a big game by junior guard Devonte Bandoo.
Despite only leading by four points at halftime, the Bears dominated the second half to secure the win. Bandoo, who scored 25 points, said the team came out in the second half with more intensity.
“I think the biggest difference in the second half is we played with more energy,” Bandoo said.
