No. 1 men’s basketball defeated Texas Christian University 68-52 Saturday in the Ferrell Center. The Bears improved their record to 19-1 and have now won a program-record 18-straight games this season.
Baylor led by 17 points with 13:10 remaining in the second half but the Horned Frogs slowly chipped away down to six points. TCU guard Desmond Bane heated up after going scoreless in the first half as he posted 14 points in the last 20 minutes.
TCU worked the lead down to eight points with 3:00 minutes left and had possession to drop it further, but Baylor redshirt-sophomore guard Davion Mitchell stole the ball with 2:57 left on the clock and ran it back for a layup to put the Bears up by 10.
