BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Kevin Rogers and Curtis Jarrells scored 16 points apiece to lead Baylor past Virginia Tech 84-66 Saturday in the second round of the NIT tourament.

Baylor advanced to the quarterfinals and will play host Auburn on Tuesday night. The Bears, who have won five of their past six games, including three in the Big 12 tournament and two in the NIT, improved to 22-14 overall on the season.

Malcolm Delaney led Virginia Tech (19-15) with 14 points.

The Bears never trailed, taking a 22-5 lead in the first 12 minutes in part because the Hokies made just one of their first 17 attempts.
