Outside of that, the Golden Eagles (12-6, 8-3 Sooner Athletic) struggled from the field, hitting just 33 percent (18 of 55) and turning the ball over 18 times.
Hitting just three triples, its fewest of the season, John Brown had to endure the Flying Queens (17-2, 11-0) program record 17 triples and refusing to cough up the ball.
Maci Merket, Kambrey Blakey and Kaylee Edgemon each contributed 16 points and shot a combined 16 of 31 from the floor, including 10 of 18 from behind the arc.
Payton Brown added 12 points and a team-best eight rebounds in the win for Wayland Baptist.
It was really the mid-range jumpers and triples that did JBU in as the hosts held a narrow 26-24 lead in points in the paint.
The Golden Eagles maintain third place in the Sooner Athletic and welcome Texas Wesleyan and Southwestern Assemblies of God (Texas) to Bill George Arena next week.
JBU will look for a season split with Texas Wesleyan at 6 p.m. on Thursday as the Rams defeated JBU 69-61 in Fort Worth on Dec. 1.
The Golden Eagles will look to complete the season sweep of the Lions at 1 p.m. Saturday after defeating Southwestern Assemblies of God 77-72 in Waxahachie, Texas, on Nov. 29.
NOTE: Senior Baily Cameron, now the JBU women's program's all-time leading scorer, will be honored along with former record-holder Kendra McCormick Knoner at halftime of the men's game on Saturday against Southwestern Assemblies of God.
