No. 19 Baylor Men's Basketball (10-5, 0-3) failed to mount a late comeback against Kansas State (14-1, 3-0) in Jerome Tang's return to Waco 97-95.
Talk about another crushing loss. In a contest that was back and forth early, Kansas State controlled the second half and suppressed every Baylor attempt at a comeback. In Scott Drew's first bout with Tang, mentee toyed with mentor.
While the Wildcats were picked to finish last in the league, Baylor was the favorite to win the Big 12. Drew's squad is 0-3 in conference. Tang's group is 3-0. Kansas State hasn't been 3-0 in Big 12 play in 10 years. Baylor hasn't been 0-3 in Big 12 play in 16.
Down by two, Kansas State hit a three-pointer to take a 96-95 lead with just over 30 seconds left. On the next Baylor possession, a turnover with six seconds remaining all but ended the game.
One Wildcat free throw and a missed Baylor three to win it were all she wrote. The Bears lost again.
Baylor turned the ball over sparingly, outrebounded the Wildcats, led fast break points and outscored Tang's bench. For a team that lives and dies by the deep ball, 8-25 from three was the squad's downfall.
