Coming off back-to-back road losses, No. 9 Baylor men’s basketball bounced back and ran all over No. 8 University of Texas, 81-72 Saturday afternoon in the Ferrell Center.

After falling to the Longhorns (22-7, 11-5 Big 12) in Austin earlier in the season, the Bears (21-8, 10-6 Big 12) looked to get revenge and take down another top-10 team. For the last time in the Ferrell Center, Baylor and Texas fought it out in front of a sold out crowd.

The green and gold were without freshman guard Keyonte George for most of the game after he suffered an ankle injury at the 11:32 mark in the first half.
