It was a tale of two halves as No. 9 Baylor women’s basketball rebounded from a slow start to beat No. 13 University of Texas, 63-55, Sunday afternoon in the Frank Erwin Center in Austin. It was the Bears’ second-straight win over the Longhorns in three days and the 13th straight win against UT overall.
Baylor (17-5, 7-3 Big 12) shot just 25.9% from the floor in the first half and found themselves trailing Texas (15-6, 5-5 Big 12) 26-18 at the break.
However, the Bears came out firing in the second half, hitting their first 10 shots for an explosive 27-point third quarter to take a two point lead heading into the final period.
