WACO, Texas (AP) — Tounde Yessoufou scored 26 points, and Baylor coach Scott Drew collected his 500th career win with the Bears' 101-75 rout over Utah on Saturday in a Big 12 Conference regular-season finale.
Drew, in his 23rd season at the helm with the Bears, is one of 25 active Division-I coaches with at least 500 wins (500-285). Drew came to Baylor after a decade coaching at Valparaiso, the final year as head coach.
Yessoufou shot 10 of 16 from the field and Cameron Carr added 21 points on 9-of-13 shooting for Baylor (16-15, 6-12), which shot 61.5% (40 of 65) overall.
Reserves Michael Rataj chipped in with 14 points and Dan Skillings Jr. scored 10 for the Bears.
Don McHenry scored 20 points and Terrence Brown added 16 for Utah (10-21, 2-16), which has lost five straight. Keanu Dawes scored 14 points but grabbed just one rebound, a season low.
The Utes shot 60% (29 of 48) from the floor and hit 7 of 14 from long range, but committed 16 turnovers that led to 31 points for the Bears.
Baylor opened on a 21-9 run and led 53-33 at the break. Yessoufou scored 15 first-half points and Carr added 12 with a pair of 3-pointers.
Carr's 3 with 3:38 to play stretched the Bears' lead to 95-65.
The Big 12 Conference Tournament starts Tuesday in Kansas City, Missouri.

It helps when you pay to play in the worst division in high school soccer and also pay to recruit.
