Haynes-Jones sinks five first-half threes in first career double-double
Wichita State guard Samajae Haynes-Jones takes a shot during their game against Baylor on Dec. 1, 2018 in Charles Koch Arena.If not for a hit to the mouth, Samajae Haynes-Jones may not have led Wichita State to its second win against the Bears in two years.
Early in the game, Haynes-Jones took an inadvertent hit to the mouth. The hit drew blood, but Haynes-Jones stayed level-headed and returned the favor with killer offense.
Haynes-Jones crossed Baylor defender Makai Mason, and in at least four feet of clear space, knocked down his second consecutive three-pointer and put the Shockers ahead 10-0. Baylor coach Scott Drew had to burn a timeout before the game reached the first media timeout.
