TCU sold out its venue and revved up the crowd Saturday night in Schollmaier Arena.
But a late surge by No. 6 Baylor, with heavy doses of point guard Manu Lecomte in crunch time, proved to be the deciding factor that carried the Bears across the finish line 62-53 in a contest that featured 13 lead changes in the second half.
Lecomte finished with 17 points and four assists, including a pair of big assists down the stretch, to help the Bears (18-1, 6-1 in Big 12) outlast the Frogs (14-5, 3-4) on a night when TCU held the lead, 48-47, with 5:27 to play.
