Baylor led 36-34 at halftime and controlled through the early part of the second half, opening up a 52-42 lead on Jones III’s 3-pointer from the top of the key with11:07 left. On the Bears’ next possession, Anthony Jones scored on a baseline runner that gave them their biggest lead of the night to that point.

St. Mary’s went scoreless for almost four minutes midway through the second half, falling behind 61-46 with about six minutes remaining.
