Coming home was sweeter than it needed to be for former assistant coach Jerome Tang, as the Wildcats grabbed a overtime road win, 97-95, in Waco on Saturday night.
On a night where Flo Thamba scored 14, Keyonte George looked electric again with 22, and Adam Flagler gathered 23 points, Baylor could not earn a conference win in its first three contests. The last time Baylor started 0-3 in conference play: 2006.
The defensive energy improved. The offense avoided a long stagnant period. The issues that have plagued Scott Drew’s team this season seemed to be moving towards resolution.
