West Virginia destroyed Baylor by 21 points in the teams' first matchup this season by forcing 29 turnovers. It appeared as if disaster was in store for the Bears after they announced point guard Manu Lecomte wouldn't play in Monday's Big 12 rematch.
Johnathan Motley and the rest of the Baylor players didn't stick to the script and defended home court with a 71-62 victory over No. 10 West Virginia.
The Mountaineers looked to be cruising toward another victory when they held a 49-41 lead with less than 10 minutes left. However, No. 11 Baylor pounded it down low to Motley, capitalized on multiple Al Freeman threes down the stretch and finished with a 30-13 spurt.
