In a close contest that Rodney Terry’s squad remained out in front of for most of the action, the No. 10 Texas Longhorns made key plays in key moments on Monday to outlast the No. 11 Baylor Bears, 76-71.
Here are a few quick thoughts from Texas’ latest ranked win.
Sir’Jabari Rice and Timmy Allen led the Longhorns in a big way. The former, just days after dropping a season-high 21 against No. 4 Tennessee, matched that with another 21 piece on Monday courtesy of an incredibly efficient shooting display — he sank 4-5 threes and 7-8 from the charity stripe, with many of his points came in key moments late as answers to punches Baylor tried to throw.
