Baylor returns to form with Melissa Jones back on the court
By Cheryl Coward at 27 January, 2010, 11:49 pm
What a difference an upperclassman makes. For Baylor (15-4, 2-3), having junior Melissa Jones back in the lineup gave them the boost they needed to halt a losing streak. No. 14 Baylor defeated No. 8 Texas A&M (15-3, 3-2) in front of a season-high 8,702 spectators, a crowd heavily populated by Aggie fans.
Jones who finished the game with a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds, was out of commission with an injury for four games before Wednesday night. She scored Baylor’s first points of the game, tying up the score at 2-2 at two and half minutes into the contest. Baylor scored the next five points, taking the lead and led for the rest of the game.
“The difference in the ball game, you could say, was Melissa Jones,” said Aggie head coach Gary Blair. “Her attitude makes everybody on that team play hard.

Baylor is now 2-3 in Big 12 play after losing two straight conference games.
Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey praised Jones’ performance and her ability to keep her teammates mentally focused.
“I sure wish we would have had her… Read more
