WACO, Texas (AP) -- Jared Butler scored 18 points, Freddie Gillespie had another double-double and No. 6 Baylor won its ninth game in a row, beating Jackson State 83-57 on Monday in the Bears' last game before Big 12 play.

The Bears (10-1), playing for the first time in 12 days, missed their first six shots. They didn't score until MaCio Teague had a three-point play after both teams went scoreless for nearly the first four minutes of the game.

After Jackson State (3-10) took its only lead at 8-7 on a 3-pointer by Miles Daniels, Baylor went on a game-deciding 32-6 run in less than seven minutes when the Bears made 11 of 13 field goals and six different players scored at least four points.

Teague finished with 16 points and Davion Mitchell had 10 for the Bears. Gillespie had 10 points and 13 rebounds for his fifth double-double this season.

Butler made two 3-pointers in the big run, including the go-ahead shot to start the spurt. He also made the ally-oop pass for a slam dunk by Mark Vital, who also had a steal and breakaway layup in that stretch.

Roland Griffin had 16 points to lead Jackson State. Tristan Jarrett, who came in as the Southwestern Athletic Conference's leading scorer with 20 points, finished 4-of-17 shooting and scored all 12 of his points after halftime.
