No. 11 Texas Holds On For 82-77 Victory Over Baylor
No. 11 Texas Holds On For 82-77 Victory Over Baylor
By Denton Ramsey, NCAA Basketball Sportswriter
WACO, Texas — It seems as though the Texas Longhorns had an answer for everything the Baylor Bears did.
Despite a remarkable run, with BU rattling off six straight points in a matter of seconds, the Bears fell to the Horns on Saturday evening, Feb. 16, at the Ferrell Center.
In front of a sold out and rowdy home crowd - the largest in the arena’s history - Baylor made a big comeback late, only to fall 82-77.
With the Bears down just one, 77-76 with 28.4 seconds remaining in regulation, Baylor’s Aaron Bruce called an untimely timeout - as BU was out of timeouts when he signaled to the officials for the call.
Due to Bruce’s momentary lapse of reason, Texas went to the other end for two free throws - with A.J. Abrams missing the second and the Horns on top 78-76.
However, LaceDarius Dunn missed a quick three for BU - forcing the home team to foul down the stretch as Texas hung on for a victory in Waco, defeating Baylor 82-77.
