AUSTIN, Texas — The No. 21 Texas Longhorns played a tougher, more physical game than they did in a blowout in Waco two weeks ago, but the No. 3 Baylor Bears made more shots down the stretch in the 68-61 win at the Erwin Center on Monday in front of a sellout crowd, including three big baskets down the stretch during a decisive 9-0 run starting with 5:21 remaining and the game tied.
Baylor guards Adam Flagler and James Akinjo combined for seven of those points — a nifty up-and-under layup by Flagler followed by a three in transition and a jumper by Akinjo — as they dominated the second half.
