Baylor vs. Iowa State: Live Score, Highlights and Reaction

Carol SchramJan 9, 2016

In 2015, the Baylor Bears handed the Iowa State Cyclones their only home loss of the season.

In 2016, the Bears turned the trick again, become the first road team to earn a win this year at Hilton Coliseum after a come-from-behind 94-89 win in Saturday Big 12 action.

Iowa State got off to a good start. Sharp shooting from the field and a string of turnovers by Baylor helped ISU build leads that stretched into the double digits throughout the first 20 minutes.

A late flurry by the Bears left them down by just four points at halftime before the second-half surge gave them a late lead that they wouldn't relinquish.

Baylor was led by Jonathan Motley with a career-high 27 points as well as 13 rebounds. Taurean Prince also posted a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds, as did point guard Lester Medford with 11 points and 10 assists.

For Iowa State, four of their five starters finished in double-digit scoring. Georges Niang led the way with 22 points and eight rebounds, but was shut down as Baylor took over the game after a defensive switchup by coach Scott Drew.

The loss will give No. 13 Iowa State a much tougher road to a Big 12 title this season—and leave the Cyclones scratching their heads after their third straight defeat by Baylor.
