After a slow start, the Baylor Bears turned things into high gear to wrap up an opening night win over the visiting UT Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros in a 96-81 win Monday in Waco, Texas.

The Bears were paced by four players scoring double figures with Cameron Carr (28) and highly-touted freshman Tounde Yessoufou (24) leading the bunch. Carr set a career-high in points in the first half and finished the day going 9 for 14 from the field and 3 for 6 from 3-point range.

Yessoufou started the day missing his first six shots, but he made his final 10, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to end the first half.

Obi Agbim (16) and Dan Skillings Jr. (15) also logged double figures with five made 3-pointers between them.

The Vaqueros were led by Marvin McGhee III (16), Filip Brankovic (14) as well
