Auburn looked the part and went toe-to-toe with the undefeated and second-ranked Baylor Bears for one half today in Waco, but then Scott Drew’s team showed off and showed why they’ve been as successful as they have in the 2020-2021 season.
Baylor used a big run to start the second half to open the game up, and cruise to an 84-72 win to improve to 16-0, while Auburn lost in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge and dropped to 10-8 overall. The Tigers ended up with five players in double figures, led by Jaylin Williams’ 17 points, but Baylor matched that while getting a superb bench effort and a steady output from downtown.
