Jalen Bridges, transfer from WVU, scored 11 points and had team-high 9 rebounds as #17 Baylor upset #9 Kansas, 75-69.
Only fellow starters Cryer (22) and Flager (17) scored more points than Bridges, who had 4 more rebounds than anyone else on the Baylor team and out-rebounded all but 1 player on the Kansas team.
For the season, Bridges leads Baylor in rebounding and steals.
He’s averaging 9.5 points for the season, 4th on an awesome Baylor team.
Watching the 2022 and 2021 national champs go against each other was VERY interesting.
Amazingly, despite their national crowns, Baylor is tied for 4th with Kansas in the Big 12, the #1 toughest and best conference in America that has NO team with a season losing record!
Since March Madness does not permit conference teams to meet in the 1st round, and rarely in the 2nd round, the Sweet Sixteen could see more Big 12 teams than any other conference! It could be Big 12 against the rest of the nation in the Sweet Sixteen, hopefully with WVU as one of the team if Huggins' guys can stop their late-game comatose performances.
WVU has to beat Texas Tech on the road to avoid dropping into last place tie with the Red Raiders.
