In the second of two semifinal matchups, Baylor led from start to finish, with senior guard Manu Lecomte scoring 24 points, including hitting 13 of 15 from the free throw line as Baylor hung on to beat Wisconsin 70-65 in the Hall of Fame Classic.
The Bears also got a career night from senior forward Jo Lual-Acuil Jr., who scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds.
The win didn’t come easy for Baylor, as Wisconsin used a 21-4 run in the second half to erase a 19 point deficit and cut the lead to just two at 57-55.
