Baylor’s defense down the stretch helped them maintain the lead. Timely baskets from Jared Butler (19 points, 4 assists) helped keep the offense afloat when Tech turned up the defensive pressure. Jarrett Culver (19 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists) did all the could to bring Tech back into the game. Freddie Gillespie (6 points, 5 rebounds), however, was Baylor’s surprising hero, hitting 4 late free throws to keep Tech at arms length. Makai Mason (16 points, 2 assists) and Devonte Bandoo iced the game at the line for the Bears, giving them 4 points from the line as the game closed.
