Waco, TX— Just 48 hours after a devastating loss to No. 18 Oklahoma, Coach Nicki Collen and No. 9 Baylor turned around and beat No. 13 Texas 75-63 to stay in the Big 12 title hunt.
NaLyssa Smith had a game high 25 points on 10-of-12 shooting with one three to put the game on ice and also collected eight rebounds. She bookended the game with Baylor’s first shot—an opening layup— and a three—the Bears’ final made basket— in the closing seconds. Ja’Mee Asberry had all of 15 points in the first half including four three-pointers.
The Bears scored the first five points of the game and jumped out to an 18-7 advantage.
