The Bears won a thriller in Waco on Tuesday night, defeating Iowa State 73-70. Makai Mason led the Bears with 25 points and received plenty of help from his teammates.
I think tonight’s game encapsulated what the Bears envisioned their team would look like in the preseason. Clark and Mason would lead the scoring, McClure would make a clutch Senior play as he did with the offensive rebound, and a young newcomer would provide energy from off the bench. Tonight it was Bandoo that lifted his team when they needed it most. His 13 points led the bench in scoring.
