The Baylor Bears (16-6, 5-4) shot below 40% from the floor for the fourth straight game, tonight finally catching a loss as a result. The Texas Longhorns (18-4, 7-2) came away with the close win, 76-71.
In the final minute of play, Keyonte George (17 pts, 4 Rebs, 5-18 FG) converted a clutch 3-point play through contact to bring the game to just a 1-point deficit. The Bears trailed by single-digits seemingly all game, doing just enough to hang around in a game where Tyrese Hunter and Marcus Carr gave Baylor’s guards fits. Still, it never felt like the Bears had a chance to win the game until it was down to the final minute.
