For Texas, Acy's show became a rerun that was difficult to watch in the Bears' 92-77 victory Saturday. "I don't think I've ever watched a game in which we gave up that many dunks," Longhorns coach Rick Barnes said. "Too many guys standing around watching. ... I'm not sure we have anybody he didn't drive by." Acy added two emphatic blocks with his career-high 24 points and LaceDarius Dunn scored 30 for the Bears, who wrapped up their winningest regular season in 64 years. The win assured Baylor (24-6, 11-5) a first-round bye in the Big 12 tournament. During a 3-minute span of the second half when the Bears extended their lead to double figures, Baylor had five baskets - four of them dunks by Acy. Gary Johnson had 25 points for the Longhorns (23-8, 9-7), who have lost eight of their 14 games after a 17-0 start made them the No. 1 team in the country on Jan. 11. Seven weeks later, the Longhorns are unranked and headed into the 12-team league tournament as the No. 6 seed after being swept in the regular season by Baylor for the first time since 1998. Texas coach Rick Barnes had been 11-0 in games at Waco, and 24-2 overall against the Bears. If the Longhorns win their Big 12 tournament opener Wednesday night against Iowa State, they play Baylor again Thursday night.

Instead, Cokie Reed and Brittainey Raven scored 18 points each and No. 18 Texas cruised to a 70-54 momentum-building victory heading into the Big 12 tournament. Griner is serving a two-game suspension after throwing a punch at Texas Tech's Jordan Barncastle during a win in Lubbock on Wednesday night. She attended the game but sat in the student section near the Baylor bench, where she signed autographs and posed for pictures. "Brittney Griner is loved here," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "Brittney Griner is loved a lot of places. She just made a bad mistake and is paying for it dearly." So did the Bears. Kathleen Nash added 12 points for the Longhorns (21-9, 10-6), who didn't allow a second-half field goal by Baylor until there was 4:44 left. Erika Arriaran added 10 points and Ashley Gayle had 11 rebounds for Texas. Kimetria Hayden scored 14 points to lead Baylor (22-8, 9-7), while Kelli Griffin had 10 points and Morghan Medlock had 12 rebounds. Baylor led 32-28 at halftime and was up 41-34 with 15:21 to play, before Texas switched to a zone defense and played extended minutes with two post players. "We played Ashley Gayle and Cokie together, and we don't really play them together often," coach Gail Goestenkors said. "Because we were in a zone, it allowed us to play them together. They changed or altered so many shots and if they didn't, they got the rebounds. I thought they were very effective together." After moving to the zone, Texas embarked on a 19-0 run to build a 53-32 lead with 8:02 left. Baylor made 13 of its first 14 free throw attempts in the second half before Lindsay Palmer's jumper with 4:44 left gave the Bears their first field goal. By that point, Texas had built a 62-47 lead. "It was hard trying to get a shot off with their size inside, even though we did attack," Griffin said. "They had a good strategy in the second half to go to a zone. We just did a poor job of attacking it." Medlock said Baylor can usually handle a zone defense with Griner playing. "It's like she draws all the attention and then that leaves everybody else open to cut," she said. "We didn't have her, so they just stretched out and were big in there and it was hard for the guards to see over a player like Brittainey Raven, who's long and fast." Texas led 14-12 before Waco native Reed hit back-to-back baskets and Raven converted a three-point play to go up 21-12 with 7:50 remaining. Baylor trailed 23-14 with 5:03 left in the first half before Jordan Madden came off the bench and hit two consecutive baskets to spark a 10-0 run to leave the Bears up 24-23 with 3:24 to play.

Trailing 3-1, Texas (9-3) rallied in the bottom of the eighth to take a lead they would never relinquish. Brandon Loy and Cameron Rupp smacked back-to-back zingers up the middle to lead off the inning. With one out, Kevin Keyes walked to load the bases and Kyle Lusson grounded to short plating Rupp when Texas State was unable to complete the double play. Kevin Lusson walked to reload the bases with two outs. On a 1-1 count, Paul Montalbano sent a frozen rope to shallow center for a single scoring both pinch-runner Jonathan Walsh and Kyle Lusson to give the Longhorns the 4-3 lead. Austin Dicharry exhibited a strong performance giving up three runs, two of which were earned, on five hits and four strikeouts in 7.0 innings of work. Stayton Thomas and Andrew McKirahan (1-0) combined to pitch a hitless eighth inning while Chance Ruffin picked up his fourth save of the year striking out one in the top of the ninth. Montalbano, who went 2-for-2 with two RBIs led the Texas offense. Keyes went 2-for-3 with a run scored and the Lusson brothers each had an RBI.
