Bears fall to Texas, lose Big 12 lead

The No. 15 Baylor men’s basketball team fell short to instate rival Texas, in a hard-fought battle at the Ferrell Center Monday night, 67-59.

With the fans dressed in black in the annual “blackout” night, and ESPN covering the game as part of its Big Monday college basketball event, the Bears had the support behind them, but it was not enough to give the Bears the edge.

“I thought we made some mistakes, they played well and defended well. We were not shooting it very well. Our points off turnovers was the difference. It was second chances that kept us in it.
