After a sluggish first half, the Baylor Bears turned up the tempo and managed to hit their threes and free throws to pull away from the Texas A&M Corpus Christi Islanders. Manu Lecomte led all scorers with 23 points on 5-8 shooting while going a perfect 10-10 from the line. In the final couple of minutes both Nuni Omot and Mark Vital tried to tear the rim down, and T.J. Maston secured his second double-double in as many games with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Baylor’s defense was excellent all game, enabling them to carry a lead into half until the offense started clicking in the second.
