WACO, TEXAS — The Baylor Bears earned a hard fought 87-70 win tonight over a tough, well coached Norfolk State team that may just find their way back into the NCAA Tournament this season if they continue to play like they did tonight.
The Spartans made Baylor earn everything on both ends. Ultimately, the talent and flow of the Bears won out.
The exclamation point of the game came in the closing minutes, when a steal by Keyonte George (23 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds)led to a fast break, where LJ Cryer (7 pts, 4 asts) lobed it up for a flying George lay-in.
