Tobe Awaka Has A Double-double As No. 19 Arizona Snaps 2-game Skid With A 74-67 Win At Baylor

Tobe Awaka had 14 points and 12 rebounds as No. 19 Arizona moved into second place alone in the Big 12 Conference with a 74-67 win at Baylor on Monday night.

Caleb Love and Henri Veesaar each had 13 points for the Wildcats 18-8, 12-3, whose back-to-back losses last week to Kansas State and No. 5 Houston dropped them six spots in the latest AP Top 25 poll earlier Monday.

VJ Edgecombe scored 24 points for the Bears 16-10, 8-7. Norchad Omier had his 82nd career double-double - and 14th this season - with 15 points and 13 rebounds. Jayden Nunn added 10 points.

Arizona never trailed after a big run to take a 41-33 halftime lead.

Baylor was within three points twice in the final minute, but Arizona made seven consecutive free throws in the final 49 seconds - and went 9 of 12 in the final 1:21.
