Baylor men’s basketball defeated Texas 74-73 in double overtime Monday night in Austin to extend their win streak to four games.

The Bears (16-10, 6-7) outlasted the Longhorns (15-11, 5-8) behind a career high 26 points from senior forward Terry Maston.

Baylor senior center Jo Lual-Acuil, Jr. scored on a put back dunk with eight seconds left to give the Bears the road win.

Baylor senior guard Manu Lecomte opened the game with a corner 3-pointer, and Lual-Acuil dunked it home on a put back one possession later to give Baylor a 5-2 lead at the 15:14 mark of the first half.
