Until about 3 minutes to go in the game, I really thought Baylor had this one. The Bears looked as good as we've come to expect over the last few games on both offense and defense, then the bottom fell out in the last few minutes as shot after shot clanged off the iron or missed completely. This was the first game the Bears have lost this season in which they held a lead in the second half, making their record in such games now 20-1.
Al Freeman led Baylor in scoring with 17, which put him second in the game to Frank Mason III's 19.
