Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua picked up two quick fouls. He added a third with 7:51 left. Those calls were tough for Baylor, but the officials called a tight game today. With Tchamwa Tchatchoua headed to the bench, the Bears inserted Mayer. Scott Drew said after, “Well, Matt was huge with Jon in foul trouble, and again, you’ve got to have depth and you’ve got to have multiple scorers.
