No.10 Baylor men’s basketball bounced back with a 75-60 win over Kansas State University Wednesday night at the Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, Kan. The Bears (20-4, 8-3 Big 12) won their seventh straight game against KSU (12-11, 4-7 Big 12) and reached 20 wins for the 13th time in the last 15 seasons.

It was a career night for junior forward Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua off the bench, as he posted a career-high 21 points on 8-of-9 shooting in 24 minutes to pair with six rebounds. He gained assistance from senior guard James Akinjo, who notched 15 points and dished out eight assists to go along with three steals.
