In a closely contested match, Texas Tech secured a victory over No. 11 Baylor with a final score of 78-68. Despite Baylor's efforts, including a significant comeback from a 16-point deficit in the second half to briefly take the lead, Texas Tech responded with decisive shooting. This included an 11-0 run by Tech and a series of three-pointers that helped seal their win, with the score at 62-56 Tech with 5:37 to go and 69-59 at the under four timeout. Baylor's shooting from the three-point range was notably poor at 24%, contributing to their loss in the regular-season finale. Baylor (22-9, 11-7) will enter the Big 12 tournament as the No. 3 seed, with their next game scheduled for 8:30 p.m. Thursday, March 14, in the quarterfinals. Langston Love was a key player for Baylor, hitting nine points in his return.
