Pierre Jackson scored 11 of his 24 points, including nine free throws, in overtime, and Cory Jefferson made the tiebreaking free throws with 50 seconds remaining as Baylor beat the Longhorns 86-79 without head coach Scott Drew on the sideline.
With one second remaining, senior forward Jacob Neubert threw the inbounds pass to freshman center Isaiah Austin at the Baylor free throw line.

Seniors Brady Heslip started his career as a member of the Boston College basketball team before transferring to Baylor. Heslip did not play in any games, however.
Heslip started this season shooting just 20 percent from the three-point arc. While his shooting numbers may be down, teams still have to put a defender in his face because he is such an established threat. This stretches the floor and allows guards to penetrate.
When people think of Oregon football, they think about awesome uniforms. But Oregon’s uniforms do more than just look cool. High school football recruits want to play at Oregon because they know they will be wearing the nicest gear that Nike has to offer.
Last year, Adidas unveiled their “adizero” uniforms for three schools: Baylor University, the University of Louisville and the University of Cincinnati.

Baylor fell to the eventual National Champion, Kentucky, last year in the Elite Eight 82-70. A big reason for Kentucky’s success was its 6-foot-10-inch freshman Anthony Davis.
Davis torched the Bears that game for 18 points, 11 rebounds and six blocks. Baylor had no answer for the Associated Press Player of the Year and eventual first overall pick in the NBA Draft.
So what did Baylor head coach Scott Drew do about it? He went to Arlington and got an Anthony Davis of his own, minus the unibrow. This one goes by the name of Isaiah Austin.
