McPHERSON, Kan. – After losing just their second game of the season on Friday night, the Baker men’s basketball team bounced back on Saturday with a thrilling 63-62 victory over Bethany (Kan.).

Jordan Honore led the Wildcats with 13 points and five assists. Jack Shortell added 11 points and Todd Johnston and Baba Diallo each finished with 10.
Baker (6-2) finished the contest 22-for-53 (42 percent) from the floor and 7-for-16 (43 percent) from beyond the arc.
