Are they going to have their legs? Are they going to come out and not be ready to go? Baylor coach Scott Drew said. And we got out to a great start and got separation early. And then, did a good job of maintaining that.The Bears (9-0) hadnt played since a 76-61 win over then-No. 7 Xavier on Dec. 3, but opened on an 11-0 run and scored 15 of the games first 18 points. They turned 11 first-half Southern turnovers into 20 points on the other end.Jared Sam and Shawn Prudhomme scored 24 points each to lead Southern (4-6). They combined to shoot 18 for 27 from the field, but the rest of the Jaguars combined to make five field goals.We finally got Shawn and Jared going, but that was mostly in the second half, Southern coach Roman Banks said. In the first half we had no rhythm. In the second half, we cut it to 19 and we missed a couple layups. That was our last true run at that point.Ishmail Wainright helped Baylor with 14 points and five steals, Al Freeman put in 14 points and Jo Lual-Acuil and King McClure went for 10 apiece. Manu Lecomte and Jake Lindsay both had eight assists for Baylor.Early in the second half, we tried to make some spectacular plays instead of making the easy plays, Drew said. And we want to make sure were operating mmore efficiently, but I think the guys just wanted to excite the crowd a little bit.dddddddddddd The big thing is we were pretty consistent the entire night defensively, holding them to 59 points. And 22 assists on 36 made field goals was very impressive.BIG PICTURESouthern: Prudhomme and Sam came up big for the Jaguars against their toughest opponent to date.
