Amidst a flurry of foul trouble and despite a career night from freshman guard Robert O. Wright III, No. 15 Baylor lost its Big 12-Big East Challenge game against No. 25 UConn, 76-72, Wednesday night at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn.
“We’re progressing as a team,” Baylor head coach Scott Drew said after the loss. “Why we played this schedule was to prepare us for Big 12 play. And again, these kind of games don’t hurt you [in NCAA Tournament seeding] if you lose, and if you win, it’s a great game.
