Baylor (17-1, 6-1) won a hard fought battle against TCU (14-5, 3-4) 62-53. The Bears sit one game behind the Jayhawks in the Big 12 and have a two game cushion over the third place team in the conference. Manu Lecomte led the Bears in scoring with 17 points, and Johnathan Motley added 15.
The Bears opened the game limiting TCU’s offense. The Frogs made just 3 of their first 15 shots. But TCU fought hard and made this quite the contest. Tonight’s TCU team was significantly better than the TCU squads of recent years.
The Bears could not quite pull away early, which kept the contest in doubt for much of the game.
