WACO, Texas (AP) — With yet another 20-win season under Scott Drew secured, Baylor forward Rico Gathers is thinking more about the two times the Bears have been a win away from the Final Four under their coach.“I’m glad that we won 20 games, but we’re on a mission to win the rest of our games for the rest of the regular season and stuff,” Gathers said after his Big 12-leading 14th double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds in a 69-42 win over Kansas State on Saturday.“We stay hungry all the time. We know we’ve got tests coming up. We’re locked and ready to go.”Taurean Price had 14 points, five assists and five steals to lead the Bears (20-7, 8-6 Big 12), who have seven of the school’s 10 seasons with at least 20 wins since Drew arrived in 2003.
