Sparty played pretty well in the first half. Baylor trailed for a lot of the half. But the Bears went on a late run and led 38-36 at halftime.
Baylor elected to full court press some in the second half. James Akinjo intercepted a weak Michigan State pass and drilled a three. If there was any hope for Tom Izzo’s squad, it went away with that make.
