Fellow freshman Dylan Harper also made an impact, scoring a team-high 20 points and racking up six assists while shooting 66.7 percent from the field.
Bailey missed the first two games of the season due to a hip issue, but the injury didn't appear to hamper the No. 2 prospect in the 2024 recruiting class against Monmouth.
Fans were amazed by Bailey's performance.
Bailey will look to build upon his promising start as the Scarlet Knights wrap up a four-game homestand in their next contest, a matchup with Merrimack on Wednesday.
