Senior guard Manu Lecomte scored 17 points and the Bears’ defense rose to the occasion holding the Longhorns to just 20 second half points as Baylor knocked off Texas 69-60 Saturday to avoid an 0-3 start in Big 12 play.
Baylor head coach Scott Drew said the defensive adjustments and the back and forth momentum swings is the nature of Big 12 basketball.
“Another Big 12 game, hard fought. As far as the first half, we gave them too many points in transition, didn’t do a good job in finding Jase [Febres], who had 18 points in the first half,” Drew said.
