Baylor Bears Game Notes
L.J. Cryer posted a game-high 21 points (8-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, and a steal in the win over Stanford on Saturday. Cryer got his first start of the season in place of Adam Flagler (hand). He continued to prove to coach Scott Drew that he deserves a lot of playing time each night. Cryer is now averaging 18.5 points, 3.5 three-pointers, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 steals per contest. It’s going to be extremely hard to keep him out of the starting five even with Flagler returns healthy if Cryer keeps producing like this.
