Jones and No. 6 Baylor hand No. 4 Texas first loss 80-67
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) Alexis Jones scored 29 points and No. 6 Baylor beat fourth-ranked Texas 80-67 on Sunday, sending the Longhorns to their first loss of the season and earning the Lady Bears their 12th straight win in the Big 12 rivalry.
Nina Davis added 24 points for the Lady Bears (18-1, 5-1), who scored 24 points off 21 Texas turnovers.
Texas (16-1, 5-1), which had trailed for only 16 seconds in its previous five Big 12 games, was down by 12 at halftime after a rash of turnovers and foul trouble and never recovered.
Baylor pushed its lead as high as 19 in the third quarter when Kristy Wallace and Jones made early 3-pointers. Texas rallied late to get within six before Jones put the game away with a long jumper and four consecutive free throws over the final 90 seconds.
