Baylor’s season came to a close on Sunday afternoon at the Ferrell Center in a back-and-forth battle with Mississippi State that, in many ways, resembled the Bears’ season as a whole.
Baylor trailed by as many as 20 points in the first half and found itself losing 47-33 at halftime of the NIT second round game.
The Bears (19-15) roared back in the third quarter, outscoring the Bulldogs (24-11) 25-10 to take the lead heading into the fourth quarter.
Baylor led 71-62 with just over four minutes remaining, but fell victim to Mississippi State’s full court press defense and the game was tied at 75 apiece with under a minute left.
