WACO, Texas (AP) Jonathan Tchamwa Tchatchoua knows how special it is just getting back on the court for 14th-ranked Baylor nearly a full year after a gruesome knee injury that many people thought would end his career.

The big man for the Bears is a testament to an unwavering spiritual faith and hard work.

"You didn't know if he would ever walk, run, let alone play basketball," Bears coach Scott Drew said. "But one thing about Jon is his timetable is a little different than everyone else's. And his work ethic is a little bit different. ... And I know God's blessed him with allowing him to be able to recover."
