Two days after a long flight back from the west coast, the No.1 Baylor Bears (11-0) cruised past a feisty Alcorn State (1-10) 94-57 behind the efforts of Jonathan Tchamwa-Tchatchoua (16 pts, 9 rebs, 2-2 3PT) and Kendall Brown (16 pts). Starting guards James Akinjo and Adam Flagler had a combined 12 assists and scored 12 points apiece.
Flo Thamba (16 pts, 4 rebs) and Tchamwa-Tchatchoua combined for a perfect 14-14 from the floor. Both players had career highs in scoring. After a season dominated by the guards, Baylor’s bigs are showing tremendous growth. Tchamwa-Tchatchoua commented after the game that he has started feeling confident in his outside shot.
