WACO, Texas (AP) Baylor coach Scott Drew already expected a tough game against an experienced opponent that won 24 games last season. The Bears were also playing without their preseason All-Big 12 forward.

Jared Butler scored 15 points, Freddie Gillespie had 11 points and 11 rebounds, and three other players scored in double figures for No. 24 Baylor, who without Tristan Clark beat Texas State 72-63 on Friday night.

"It was great for our team to win a game where there's pressure and where we had to focus and perform in the end," Drew said. "Hopefully, we can build on that so we can do a little bit better in the last five minutes."
