Bears used a 16-0 run to take control of the game.

WACO, Texas (AP) - Devonte Bandoo scored 25 points and Baylor got its first win of the season, 80-53 over Southern University on Saturday to avoid another setback against a SWAC team.

The Bears (1-1) bounced back from a season-opening loss to Texas Southern, their first loss to a SWAC team after winning the previous 56 such games in school history. Baylor used a 16-0 run against Southern University to turn a one-point deficit into a 50-35 lead with 12 minutes to go.

Tristan Clark was 8-of-9 shooting to score 17 points for Baylor despite battling foul trouble for the second game in a row. Matthew Mayer had 12 points after failing to score in his first career game. The Bears were 15 for 21 from the free throw line after going 3 for 11 in the opener.

Eddie Reese led the Jaguars (0-2) with 18 points but had no assists with seven turnovers, and Jayden Saddler added 11.

The start of the game was delayed by almost an hour because of a shattered backboard that occurred about three hours before the scheduled tipoff. The cause of it breaking is unknown, but it happened after both teams had their shoot rounds Saturday morning.
