No. 9 Baylor men’s basketball sent West Virginia University home empty handed as the Bears defeated the Mountaineers 79-67 Monday night in the Ferrell Center. Baylor’s fourth-straight victory helps the Bears improve to 20-6 overall and 9-4 in Big 12 play, also putting them tied for first in the conference with No. 6 University of Texas.
If No. 5 University of Kansas wins on Tuesday versus Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Okla., then it’ll be a three-way tie for first between the Jayhawks, Bears and Longhorns.
“[It was] a good night for the Baylor Bears,” head coach Scott Drew said.
