Baylor men’s basketball stumbled in its first opportunity to impress as the number one team in the country, as it fell on the road to West Virginia on Tuesday. However, it would not make the same mistake twice.

On Saturday the Bears rode a strong 26-point effort, including 18 in the second half from junior guard Manu Lecomte. Baylor shot 48% from the floor as a team, in picking up a 77-68 victory over Kansas State.

Lecomte said the team was ready to put the West Virginia loss behind them and get back to business by focusing on the Wildcats.
