Junior guard Manu Lecomte scored 17 points, including five three-pointers, and Baylor rallied for a 78-75 victory over Ole Miss on Saturday night.
Baylor trailed by as many as 15 points in the first half at 33-18 and by seven at intermission. With the come-from-behind win, the No. 5 Bears have now won seven of eight games when trailing at the half.
Baylor head coach Scott Drew said that his team battled through a well-executed game plan go get the big road win.
“We didn’t execute as well as we’d liked, and I think Ole Miss deserves a lot of that credit for causing us to turn it over the way that we did,” Drew said.
