🔼 Perfect 10. There’s something special about Foster Pavilion.

For a stretch on Tuesday night, it became the VJ Edgecombe show in Waco as the star freshman scored 11 straight points en route to a team-high 18 points and a dominant 68-48 victory over Cincinnati in Big 12 action.

The win stretched Baylor's home winning streak to 10 games, the fourth-longest active streak in the Big 12 and tying the 10^th longest home winning streak in school annals.

BU also got 18 points and 10 rebounds from fifth-year senior Norchad Omier, his eighth double-double of the year.

Josh Ojianwuna had 10 points and seven rebounds in 26 minutes, while Jeremy Roach added six points, Jayden Nunn chipped in nine and Robert Wright III had seven points and three boards.
