Baylor basketball is in a free-fall. After a dominant 12-1 nonconference slate and top seven ranking to open the season, the Bears have dropped eight of their 10 Big 12 games.

For the fourth week in a row, Baylor faced a first-half deficit and lacked consistent production on offense. Unlike the previous week against Oklahoma State, Baylor’s defense was able to step up and make plays to lead No. 9 Baylor (10-1, 7-1) to a 41-38 victory over Texas Christian University (4-8, 2-7) on Saturday at Amon Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.

From the Baylor 23-yard line, senior TCU quarterback Casey Pachall looked for a receiver near the goal line, but the ball was tipped and intercepted by sophomore safety Terrell Burt in the end zone to seal Baylor’s 41-38 victory and keep Baylor’s dream of a Big 12 championship alive.

After winning its first Big 12 match of the season on Oct. 9 against West Virginia, Baylor volleyball looks to keep the momentum going in a Big 12 tilt against Texas Christian University. The Bears currently sit with a record of 9-11 after a 1-3 start in Big 12 conference play.

“Our problem has been consistency,” senior defensive specialist Kayci Evans said. “At some point it comes together but then five minutes later we’ll mentally break down.”
