Despite Baylor’s control for much of the game, Oklahoma State never gave up.
Phil Forte drained a three in transition with just about 2 minutes remaining to bring the score to 70-64 as OSU’s defense became hectic in an attempt to catch the Bears. Baylor had four consecutive turnovers under the two minute mark, allowing the Cowboys to bring the gap to 1. Baylor seemed totally unprepared to handle the full court press. With 20 seconds remaining, Baylor had a huge defensive stand when Jo Lual-Acuil blocked a shot and Motley corralled the loose ball and eventually got the ball to Lecomte, whom OSU sent to the line.
