MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — In a game between two of the Big 12's three teams yet to win a conference game, Baylor was the team to get its first.

Baylor beat West Virginia 83-78 inside WVU Coliseum on Wednesday in Morgantown.

The Bears got a career-high 32 points from freshman guard Keyonte George, just one week after he set a career best against TCU. 

Jalen Bridges, a WVU transfer, scored 10 points and pulled down 11 rebounds for a double-double in his return to Morgantown. It was his first career double-double.

Temple College alum Kedrian Johnson scored 10 points with six assists before fouling out in the final minutes for the Mountaineers.

The Bears improve to 11-5 overall, 1-3 in Big 12 play with the result.

Baylor will next host Oklahoma State on Saturday. The Cowboys upset the Bears in Waco last season.
