The last two undefeated teams in men’s college basketball lost on Tuesday night. No. 1 Baylor lost at home to No. 19 Texas Tech, 65-62, after leading by 15 in the first half. The loss was a shock: Baylor was an 11-point favorite and as the defending national champion had looked imposing all season, beating Stanford by 38 and then-No. 6 Villanova by 19 and winning a strong tournament in the Bahamas.
