WACO, Texas (AP) Brady Heslip scored 26 points while making eight 3-pointers and Baylor hit a season-high 16 shots from long range in a 112-66 victory over Long Beach State in a first-round NIT game Wednesday night.
Heslip had three early 3s, pushing the Bears to a 16-6 lead in the first 4 minutes, when he had already made long-range shots from the left corner, left wing and top of the key.
"Just showing I could balance it out," said Heslip, whose next 3 was from the right wing. "I love it when teams play zone. Guys made a couple of extra passes early, found me when I was open."
