No. 6 Baylor men’s basketball was manhandled by Marquette University 96-70 Tuesday evening in the Big 12-Big East Battle at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wis. The Bears trailed early, only hoisting a lead for the first 4:21 of the game before the rout was on.

“I didn’t see that coming,” head coach Scott Drew said. “Credit the crowd. Credit them for building momentum. Credit [Marquette head coach] Shaka [Smart] for having them prepared and how hard they played. At the end of the day, we fed to the fire by turning it over and making some uncharacteristic mistakes.
