After getting a birthday boost, Baylor will look to secure a berth in the Players Era men’s championship game when it opposes No. 14 St. John’s on Tuesday in Las Vegas.The Bears knocked off Creighton 81-74 on Monday behind Cameron Carr, who scored 21 points, pulled down nine rebounds and notched two blocks.Carr led five Bears starters who all scored in double figures, and the performance came on his 21st birthday. Baylor coach Scott Drew serenaded him postgame, singing the first few lines of “Happy Birthday” and saying he’s “exciting to coach.”Dan Skillings Jr. scored 14 points, Obi Agbim tallied 13 points, Tounde Yessoufou had 11 points and Michael Rataj chipped in 10 points and five assists for the Bears (4-0).Carr, a redshirt sophomore transfer from Tennessee, feels supported by his new teammates at Baylor, and the results are showing on the court.”I’m thankful for my teammates and the people I am around,” Carr said. “They push me to be better. When I’m going through a tough time, they tell me to keep my head up and keep going. I’m thankful for the people around me.”In two seasons at Tennessee, Carr averaged less than five points per game. At Baylor, Carr (23.5 points per game) is the team’s leading scorer.”Honestly, it’s my confidence,” Carr said when asked what has changed most in his time with the Bears. “I know what I can do and what I can control. I want to take advantage of that and be the best I can be for my teammates. When they rely on me, I have to step up in those moments. And I have to hold them to the same standard as well. It’s just believing in myself and knowing and trusting the process.”St. John’s (3-2) dropped a tightly contested game, 83-82, to No. 15 Iowa State in the opening round on Monday. Zuby Ejiofor’s 3-point attempt to tie the game in the final seconds was unsuccessful, and Dillon Mitchell’s put-back at the buzzer wasn’t enough.
