No. 25-ranked Baylor men’s basketball took down Alcorn State 78-61 Friday night at the Ferrell Center.
The Bears (3-0) capitalized on easy basket opportunities to defeat the Braves (0-4) and give head coach Scott Drew his 300th career win.
Baylor scored 15 second-chance points and 40 points in the paint while ASU only managed four and 24 in those categories, respectively.
Drew said the Bears won because they controlled the glass and took care of the ball.
“Whenever you can out-rebound someone 49 to 27 and 18 to 5 on the offensive glass, that’s always a positive,” Drew said.
