LJ Cryer went off for 26 as the No. 9 Baylor Bears (19-6, 9-4) streaked past the West Virginia Mountaineers (15-11, 4-9). With the Texas loss in Lubbock tonight, Baylor is now tied for first in the Big 12 having won 9 of their last 10 conference games (and 10 of their last 11) after starting 0-3 in the conference.
Jalen Bridges commented how proud he is of his team’s competitiveness and response to those early season losses: “It’s just a credit to our guys, our staff, our sports squad, our players. We could have easily gave up, we could have let those three early losses affect us.
