win in Waco.

After watching a 15-point second-half lead slip away, Kenny Chery drained a jumper with 4.7 seconds remaining to lift the No. 22 Bears to a 74-73 win over the No. 11 Cyclones before 6,576 fans Wednesday night.

The Bears moved to 10-2 against the Cyclones at home, a sharp contrast to Baylor’s 0-12 record in Ames. Baylor improved to 13-3 overall and 2-2 in the Big 12 while Iowa State dropped to 12-3 overall and 2-1 in the Big 12.

5’11” Chery from Montreal, QC is averaging 10.4 points, 4.1 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game for the Bears.

During high school he played two seasons for head coach Michael Adams at Archbishop Carroll High School in Washington, D.C. and was a 2011 McDonald’s All-American nominee. Baylor now plays Saturday at Kansas State.
