WACO, Texas — Tweety Carter hit two 3-pointers to start overtime and finally put Baylor ahead to stay in a victory over Oklahoma State that was filled with wild swings.
“I don’t know about you (media) guys, but I am worn out,” Baylor coach Scott Drew exclaimed.
Down by 17 points in the first half, Baylor recovered to go up by eight soon after halftime only to fall behind again by seven. The Bears then needed a late 12-1 run just to be in position to force overtime.
Curtis Jerrells led the Bears with 31 points and 10 assists, but missed a chance to win the game in regulation when he made only one free throw with 2.5 seconds left.
James Anderson had 20 points for Oklahoma State, which had won seven straight games — the Big 12’s longest winning streak.
