Texas threatened to turn the game

J’Covan Brown, scored 18 to lead the Longhorns (17-11, 7-8), gucci outlet but had a critical turnover with 12 seconds left that prevented Texas from shooting for a tie.

Brady Heslip scored 12 for Baylor and helped spark the Bears’ rally with three 3-pointers in the second half.

While Heslip started the rally, it was Acy who refused to let Baylor lose this one. His powerful moves in the post and tough rebounding took over the game while the Bears are still looking for standout forward Perry Jones III to shake off his scoring slump.

Baylor shot just 40 percent but Acy grabbed eight offensive rebounds to keep possessions alive and went 8 of 11 from the free throw line.

“The toughness and leadership he’s brought our team is off the charts,” Baylor coach Scott Drew said.

Jones scored 10 and gave Baylor its first lead of the second half at 56-55. Acy took over in the final five minutes giving the Bears at 65-63 lead with 4:45 to play.

“They had a good trap on the ball. Gucci belts, cheap gucci belt for men and women outlet 2012. A.J. read it perfectly,” Jackson said.

The loss comes at a tough time for the Longhorns who are still trying to boost their resume for the NCAA tournament. They have lost eight games by six points or less this season.

Texas had won four in a row before ur dropped a road defeat at Oklahoma State over the weekend. The Longhorns seemed to be catching Baylor at just the right time with their return home. Baylor had lost three of four.

But the Bears were also looking to break out of a late-season swoon.

“We had to come down here, really just dig deep and not give up,” Acy said. “Just because we lost a couple of games doesn’t mean the season’s over,” Acy said.

Texas shot 50 percent in the first half and led 36-26 at halftime. The Longhorns held Baylor to 28 percent shooting and just seven total field goals in the half.

Texas threatened to turn the game into a rout early in the second when Brown, the Big 12’s leading scorer, made a quick catch-and-shoot 3-pointer. But the Bears hung around behind a 3-point shooting burst from Heslip, who made three in the first five minutes of the half, with the last cutting the lead to 46-39.

“You can’t give up wide open 3s to a guy that’s all he does,” Texas coach Rick Barnes said.

That flurry kept the Bears close and they eventually caught up.
