Well that was, once again, gross. West Virginia is just definitively Baylor’s kryptonite this year.
The first half saw the Bears climb to an 8 point lead and hold that until 7:19 left in the half. The Bears got this lead behind inside shots from Jo Lual-Acuil Jr. and Terry Maston, a layup by Manu Lecomte, and a three pointer from Nuni Omot.
Then everyone went cold and the Mountaineers started turning turnovers into points. During this stretch, Jake Lindsey made two free throws, then missed the front end of a 1 and 1 and Mark Vital went 1 of 2, leaving 3 potential points out there.
