Angela Tisdale scored 19 points, including a game-winning 3-pointer with 19 seconds left and No. 6 Baylor beat No. 25 Texas 61-60 on Wednesday night in Waco.
Texas (15-6, 3-4 Big 12) had a shot at winning the game, but Kathleen Nash’s shot with 3.4 seconds left was blocked by Danielle Wilson. It was the only block of the game for the 6-foot-3 sophomore, but saved the game for the Lady Bears (19-1, 7-0).
Baylor won its 12th straight game, and is 7-0 in the Big 12 for the first time ever.
Wilson added 11 points and Jessica Morrow had 12 for Baylor.
Ashley Lindsey led Texas with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Carla Cortijo scored 16 points.
Texas led 60-58 on Lindsey’s jumper with 42 seconds left, the Longhorns’ first lead since 22-21 late in the first half. But the Lady Bears then ran their offense, with Tisdale going around a screen by Rachel Allison to hit her 3-pointer from the corner.
Texas' Brittainey Raven, from North Crowley, was 1-of-7 shooting and had seven points on an uneven night that included five assists and six turnovers.
