Baylor Bears wallop WVU Mountaineers 80-60

Tonight was one of those nights when you see everything start to click for the Bears and things go as you expected them to the entire time. Now, following two impressive victories, the trick will be repeating that performance again. Then we have what we in the biz call a "winning streak."

Here's the box for Baylor. I want you to pay particular attention to two people: Brady Heslip and my boy Rico Gathers. Getting production out of them moving forward and (hopefully) into the Tournament will be critical as teams key on Pierre Jackson and try to keep our bigs from dominating the paint. If Rico keeps making FTs like this ... whoa. (Imagine I said that like Joey Lawrence.)
