Butler Shines in #2 Bears 67-49 Win over TCU
Tim Heitman-USA TODAY Sports Baylor started the second half strong with a 10-2 run after trailing at halftime for the first time all season. On defense they adjusted to TCU’s back cutting that hurt them several times early in the game, and they continued to force their was to the rim where the Horned Frogs are soft. The heroics of Jared Butler paced the Baylor Bears to a 67-49 win over their rival TCU Horned Frogs.
Butler showed why he was a pre-season All American and Big XII player of the year. His 28 points on only 17 shots, plus 8 rebounds and 5 steals. He was also the only Bear to shoot at his normal level from three, draining 4-8 threes, all of his makes coming in the second half.
