After enjoying ten days off in order to finish off the fall semester, Baylor men’s basketball wasted little time finding its offensive rhythm and establishing its will against Southern on Tuesday night. The Bears scored the first 11 points of the game, including the first seven points from junior forward Jonathan Motley, and cruised to an 89-59 victory over the visiting Southern University Jaguars.
Motley connected on his first six shots of the game and led the Bears in scoring with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
“We were very eager. It’s tough going through stretches where you don’t have a game and you’re taking tests and studying,” said Motley.
