Bahamian VJ Edgecombe had 15 points in a team-high 41 minutes to help the Baylor Bears survive an overtime scare to defeat the Arizona State Sun Devils 72-66 at ASU Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday.

The now 11-4 Bears were in control of the game for almost its entirety, leading for 39 minutes of the contest and pulling away to a 15-point lead at one point before the Sun Devils fought back forcing an extra five minutes.

In overtime, Baylor turned up the intensity, taking the lead and never relinquishing it on the way to their second win in a row after a loss to Iowa State 10 days ago.

Norchad Omier led the team with 19 points and eight rebounds while Josh Ojianwuna (12 points and 17 rebounds) and Jayden Nunn (10 points) also had excellent contributions.

The Bears will next travel to Tucson to take on the Arizona Wildcats in a key Big 12 contest.
