A dominating and career-high game for senior guard Makai Mason led Baylor men’s basketball to its sixth-straight win, defeating Texas Christian University 90-64 Saturday night at the Ferrell Center.
Starting the game with identical statistics — 4-for-9 field goals and nine rebounds — TCU seemed to hold a slight advantage over the Bears as they missed their first two offensive opportunities. It wasn’t until Mason hit his first 3-pointer to give Baylor a source of momentum.
Following five lead changes within the first six minutes of the game, blocks by four different Baylor players, an early penalty from TCU’s JD Miller and shooting 6-for-11 on 3-pointers gave Baylor the opportunity to gain and maintain a lead for nearly 17 minutes of the first half.
