WACO, Texas (AP) — Manu Lecomte made a short high-arching jumper over a defender with 8 seconds left and No. 2 Baylor remained undefeated with a 65-63 victory over Iowa State in the Bears’ Big 12 home opener Wednesday night.

After a timeout, the Bears (14-0, 2-0 Big 12) came out and the former Miami transfer made a move around the left side and then shot over Matt Thomas, who at 6-foot-5 is 6 inches taller than the guard.

Iowa State (9-4, 1-1) had one more chance after a timeout, but Monte Morris’ baseline jumper was no good as time expired. Baylor was playing with its highest ranking ever, and fans chanted “No. 1 !, No. 1!” when the game ended. The victory by the Bears came on the same night that No. 1 Villanova had its 20-game winning streak snapped in a loss at Butler.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Shaquille Morris scored 13 points, Daishon Smith added 13 with three 3-pointers, and Wichita State used a big first half to beat Drake 90-65 on Wednesday night to win its fourth straight and improve its all-time record against the Bulldogs to 41-4.

Landry Shamet added 11 points, Markis McDuffie had 10 and grabbed 11 rebounds, and the Shockers (13-3, 3-0, Missouri Valley) outrebounded Drake 54-28, including 18-5 on offensive boards, resulting in 26 second-chance points. Wichita State scored 22 points off of 15 turnovers and outscored the Bulldogs 42-24 in the paint.

Wichita State opened with a 10-2 run and pulled ahead on an 8-2 run capped by Morris’ tip-in. Morris’ dunk with 5:58 left sparked an 11-2 run and the Shockers led 51-21 at halftime.

The Bulldogs stiffened in the second half and outscored the Shockers 44-39, but couldn’t overcome their 30-point halftime deficit. De’Antae McMurray scored 13 for Drake (3-12, 1-2).

Iowa State’s first road test in Big-12 Conference play will be as tough one when they visit second ranked Baylor tonight (Wednesday night). The Cyclones opened the league race by rallying for a victory at home over Texas Tech and now face a Baylor team that coach Steve Prohm says is a tough match-up.

Baylor is 13-0 and Prohm says the few teams that have played the Bears close played with an edge. The toughest match-up for Iowa State may be Baylor 6-10 forward Jonathan Motley, who averages more than 16 points and nine rebounds.

The game will match Iowa State’s four-guard look against the size of Baylor. Tip-time is 7-p.m.

The Iowa Hawkeye women were outscored 19-9 in the third quarter and lost at Penn State 71-58 in Big Ten play, Tuesday. The Hawkeyes also lost the battle on the glass 42-30. Megan Gustafson led Iowa with 21 points while Tania Davis added 14 as the Hawkeyes slip to 1-2 in the Big Ten. It was the first league victory for the Nittany Lions after an 0-2 start.
