No. 11 Baylor men’s basketball had all the momentum when it scored the first two points of overtime, taking its first lead of the game over No. 2 Houston.
The Cougars put that to rest with a 9-1 run over the next four minutes, though, and they pulled out their 10th win in 11 games with an 82-76 victory on Saturday afternoon in the Foster Pavilion.
Baylor (19-8, 8-6 Big 12) rallied from a 16-point halftime deficit to force overtime, but Houston (24-3, 11-3 Big 12) forced four turnovers in the extra period and hit 9 of 10 free throws to secure the six-point win.
