No. 6 ranked Texas (11-4. 6-3) started 10-of-19 from three and went over 19 minutes without getting called for a foul. Jared Butler, a guaranteed unanimous All-American if the season ended today, drew his third foul in the first half. If ever there were a game to knock off Baylor (17-0, 9-0) it was tonight. And despite those problems, Baylor blasted Texas, in Austin, 83-69.
The Bears now lead the Big 12 by three games. The two main competitors for the conference are the team Baylor just beat by 14 at their place, or the team (Oklahoma) Baylor beat by 15 when the Bear’s two best players went 0-for-8 from three.
