The Baylor Bears (8-2) built a lead in the second half to win 58-48 over the Northwestern State Demons (8-4) after a season low 24 points in the first half. Jalen Bridges woke up from his December slump with 13 points and 7 rebounds.
Northwestern State earlier this season upset TCU in Fort Worth with Mike Miles out, so when it was announced that Dale Bonner (11 points, 7 asts, 3 stls) would start in place of Adam Flagler (illness), it seemed like it was out of the realm of possibility that tonight’s game would be closer than Bears fans want out of this sort of non-conference game.
