WACO, Texas – Adam Flagler scored a season-high 22 points, Jared Butler had 15 of his 18 points after halftime and No.
2 Baylor finally overcame the rust of a three-week break and Iowa State for a 77-72 victory Tuesday night, making the Bears 18-0 for the first time in school history.
The Bears (18-0, 10-0 Big 12) played for the first time since an 83-69 win at then-No. 6 Texas on Feb. 2 when they had matched the best start in school history.
They then had six consecutive games postponed because of COVID-19 issues in the program, and hadn't even had another full practice until Sunday.
