Here are three takeaways from the Bears' loss:

Undermanned Baylor struggles

Baylor entered Saturday's game against Texas Tech with only eight available players.

Starting senior guards Makai Mason (toe) and King McClure (knee) both sat out with injuries and the Bears were still without sophomore forward Tristan Clark, who is out for the season because of season-ending knee surgery.

It also didn't help that the Bears were facing the No. 15 team in the nation in Texas Tech, who had a 13-1 home record ahead of Saturday's matchup.
