Nunn made seven 3-pointers and the Bears (5-2) made 15 of their 37 tries from 3-point range. Robert Wright scored 18, Jeremy Roach had 17 and Norchad Omier added 12 points and 13 rebounds as Baylor took advantage of the outmanned Privateers (2-5) to bounce back from a 77-62 loss to Tennessee on Friday. Dae Dae Hunter scored 18 points to lead the Privateers, who committed 16 turnovers to the Bears&#8217; six, leading to a 16-point disparity in points off turnovers. Roach made a layup to start the second-half scoring to balloon the Bears&#8217; lead to 29 points before the Privateers crept within 22. Jalen Celestine made two 3-pointers and Wright and Roach made on each during an 18-6 run that expanded the lead to 72-38 midway through the half. Nunn wasted no time setting the tone in the first half. He made consecutive 3-pointers to start the scoring. Hunter answered with a 3-pointer for New Orleans&#8217; first points. Hunter made another 3-pointer to get the Privateers within 12-10, but they made just one more field goal in the next 7 minutes, 28 seconds and Baylor wouldn&#8217;t blink again. Two more 3-pointers by Nunn were part of an 18-5 run that gave Baylor a 30-15 lead. Jah Short and Hunter each made a 3-pointer to help New Orleans get within 12 before Nunn made another 3-pointer and Roach had a three-point play and a 3-pointer during an 11-0 run that expanded the Bears led to 23. James White made a free throw to stop the run, but Baylor scored the last five points to take a 50-23 halftime lead. The Bears finished the half on a 16-1 run as the Privateers missed their last five field-goal attempts. Nunn made 6-of-7 3-pointers in the half. Baylor enjoyed a 55 percent to 25 percent advantage in field-goal shooting and had 12 assists on 18 field goals. &#8211;Field Level Media<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/imgupload\/e2a5544689d0cd423089297b7ccce821.jpg\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><\/p>\n<p>Nov 27, 2024; Waco, Texas, USA; Baylor Bears guard Jayden Nunn (2) scores a three-point basket against the New Orleans Privateers during the first half at Paul and Alejandra Foster Pavilion.
