Baylor beats reeling Texas, 75-64

AUSTIN, Texas _ At least Texas is no longer in an embarrassing free fall. After losing seven straight, the Longhorns have finally crashed to the bottom.

A team picked to finish third in the Big 12 race finished the regular season is in last place thanks to Saturday's 75-64 loss to No. 11 Baylor at the Erwin Center.

Texas and Oklahoma entered the final day of the regular season tied for ninth, and the Longhorns actually held the tie-breaker. But OU captured a 73-68 win over TCU on Saturday at Lloyd Noble Center, giving the Sooners a leg up for the ninth spot in the 10-team league.

Jarrett Allen (20 points, nine rebounds) shined in what was truly a nondescript game in this lost season for Texas (10-21, 4-14 Big 12). Baylor got multiple contributions from key players as starting guard Manu Lecomte sat with an ankle injury as a precaution. The Bears (24-6, 12-6) hit 9 of 20 from 3-point range and were in cruise control for most of the day.

Baylor was paced by Johnathan Motley's 17 points and 17 rebounds.
