No. 4 Baylor dropped their third game out of the last six contests to the University of Alabama, 87-78 on Saturday afternoon at the Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The Bears (18-3, 5-2 Big-12) lost their first road game of the season, after racking up 14 consecutive road wins. This loss to Alabama (14-7, 4-4 SEC) snapped Baylor’s 36-game win streak against non-conference opponents, their first out-of-conference loss since 2019.
The injury bug once again got a hold of the Bears, as sophomore guard LJ Cryer was kept out of today’s game with a foot injury.
