WACO, Texas -- L.J. Cryer scored 15 points against his former team, including six free throws in overtime, as second-ranked and Big 12-leading Houston beat Baylor 82-76 on Saturday.
The Cougars (24-3, 11-3 Big 12) blew a 16-point halftime lead, and thought they had won the game on a long 3-pointer by Jamal Shead to end regulation before replay showed the ball was still in his hands when the clock ran out.
Cryer's two free throws with 3:06 left in OT put Houston back in the lead, and he added four more after that.
