Baylor!!!!!

THis complete hell not to be able to watch. Baylor about to go up by one with a free throw opportunity.

Let's go HOrns!

TV timeout, 11:47 to play. Score knotted at 53 apiece.

Baylor had grabbed a three-point lead but Harrison Smith canned a trey to tie it up. Atchley followed with one of his own, but so did BU's Jerrells. The teams have been trading buckets since.

Notes: Baylor zoning Texas right now. Pittman on the bench with three fouls. Abrams finally took a bad shot (during Baylor's 12-2 run).
 
TV timeout, 7:20 to play and Texas up, 57-55.

Inspired defense from A.J. and Ward, plus an incisive pass from A.J. to Harrison Smith for a fast-break layup gave us the advantage.

Pittman injured but apparently OK. Josh Lomers, the sailing equivalent of "meat on a rail," came down on Dex's legs while scrambling for a loose ball.

Gone is our chance to roll this team by double digits. BU's guards have woken up, so expect a dogfight the rest of the way.
 
Texas timeout, 5:18 to play. Baylor back up, 59-57, thanks to some poor finishing from UT. Dex missed a pair of free throws (four in a row now) and Varez Ward missed a point-blank, uncontested fingerroll that resulted in a BU fast break and the go-ahead bucket.

Jekyll and Hyde, I tell ya.
 
TV timeout at the 3:57 mark with the score tied, 61-61.

Varez Ward atones for his earlier miss with an incredible floating layup high off the glass, plus an and-one. Baylor responds, however, with an incredible, off-balance, fading 18-footer from Dugat.

Turnover Texas so it's Baylor ball.
 
Scramble for the ball on UT's end of the court. Multiple players down. Damion gains possession and calls a timeout at the 3:21 mark.

Texas ball and the score's still knotted at 61 apiece.
 
Update: Still 3:21 left to play, but Baylor calls a timeout to strategize/recover. Game is getting very physical. Pittman back on the bench with an apparent head/neck injury.
 
Timeout Texas, 1:08 to play. Baylor's Dunn just canned a sweet 3-pointer to put BU up, 67-65.

Texas had staked itself to a four-point lead, 65-61, thanks to four straight points from Varez Ward, but we followed that with some offensive hibernation.

Texas ball.
 
Timeout Texas. Baylor up, 69-67, with 29.2 seconds to play. A.J.'s floater ends an 8-0 Bear run.

Really hate how this team--our team--goes into a shell offensively in the last two minutes of a half and just gives the ball to Abrams and asks him to create his own shot.
 
Well, that just might do it. For the love of Pete, how does a 6-nothing guard come down with the ball amid a sea of 6-foot-6-plus rebounders? Shameful.
 
A.J. nails a three from Stillwater, but it's too little, too late as Baylor makes its free throws and UT can't convert on the other end.

Baylor shooting two and up by four, 74-70, with about nine seconds to play.
 
It's official: Baylor 76, Texas 70.

Hats off to the Bears for getting that Longhorn-sized monkey off their back and reaching the Big 12 finals. Still, I can't escape the feeling that, yet again, this Texas team shot itself in the foot and allowed an inferior ballclub to walk away winners.

C'est la vie.
