Walter, Nunn lead No. 20 Baylor over Gardner-Webb 77-62

Associated Press  

WACO, Texas — Baylor coach Scott Drew said he didn’t hear the home fans screaming for his team to shoot a 3-pointer as his team dribbled out the win. Baylor didn’t make a 3-pointer for the first time since a game against Texas Tech in 1990, ending a streak of 1,032 games with at least one, but Ja’Kobe Walter scored 14 points, Jayden Nunn added 12 and the 20th-ranked Bears ran away from Gardner-Webb 77-62 on Sunday. “Too many times on the road you don’t want to hear what people are saying, so you kind of just get used to tuning it out.” In a game that featured 16 lead changes over the first 27 minutes, Baylor finally took charge in the second half with a 12-2 run that lasted nearly five minutes. But he praised Missi for the effort to get behind the Gardner-Webb defense and said the play worked because “not many people can go up and catch balls where he catches them.” BIG PICTURE Gardner-Webb: The Bulldogs didn’t show any weariness from playing two ranked foes on the road over a three-day span.
