WACO, Texas (AP) – Taurean Prince scored 14 points, Rico Gathers
had 13 points and 10 rebounds and No. 20 Baylor secured another 20-win season under coach Scott Drew, beating Kansas State 69-42 Saturday.
Prince also had five steals and five assists for the Bears, who have seven of the school’s 10 seasons with 20 wins since Drew arrived in 2003.
With consecutive wins since a two-game skid that interrupted a hot streak, Baylor (20-7, 8-6 Big 12) is looking solid for a fifth trip to the NCAA tournament under Drew after winning for the 18th time in 20 home games.
Thomas Gipson scored 11 points to lead the Wildcats (13-15, 6-9), who set a season low for points and dropped two games under .500 for the first time since the end of the 2003 season.
