Baylor men’s basketball put together a dominant offensive performance Monday night in the Foster Pavilion, besting the Abilene Christian Wildcats 88-57 in Scott Drew’s 450th win as head coach of the Bears.

Amidst a flurry of foul trouble and despite a career night from freshman guard Robert O. Wright III, No. 15 Baylor lost its Big 12-Big East Challenge game against No. 25 UConn, 76-72, Wednesday night at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Conn.

No. 15 Baylor is catching No. 25 UConn at the right time. After heading into the Maui Invitational as a presumed Final Four contender, the Huskies became just the fourth AP top-two team to lose three straight games in the AP poll era, all to unranked opponents.

VJ Edgecombe’s career-high 20 points weren’t enough to overcome the Volunteers on Friday in the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championship in Nassau.

The Bears will advance to play the winner of No. 11 Tennessee and Virginia Friday night at 8:30 p.m. in the final round of the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championships finals.
