Baylor coach Scott Drew is choosing to take the optimistic outlook with his up-and-down team ahead of Saturday's Big 12 Conference home game against UCF in Waco, Texas. The Bears (14-8, 6-5) have played shorthanded over the last 10 games, the amount of time guard Langston Love has missed with an ankle injury. In addition, Duke transfer Jeremy Roach just returned from concussion protocol after missing four games, while VJ Edgecombe sat out Tuesday's 73-59 loss at No. 13 Texas Tech with an ankle injury. "In this league, it's hard when you're playing six, seven guys," Drew said. "Hopefully, we get VJ and Langston back, and that will really help with things.
