No. 2 Texas Beats No. 13 Baylor 89-54

No. 2 Texas extended its undefeated start to the season with an 89-54 victory over No. 13 Baylor on Sunday in Austin, a matchup between former conference rivals that highlighted the Longhorns' defensive prowess and the Bears' turnover struggles, compounded by a midgame injury to Baylor's leading scorer.

The game shifted decisively early when Texas erupted for a 16-0 run in the first quarter, fueled by contributions from six different players over just over four and a half minutes. Baylor committed six turnovers during that stretch, setting the tone for a nightmarish offensive performance. The Bears finished with a season-high 30 turnovers, their most since November 2008, which Texas converted into 42 points. After trailing by five points early, the Longhorns tied the score at 11-11 on a steal and free throw by Jordan Lee, then took the lead for good moments later on another steal and layup by the same player. Rory Harmon capped the decisive run with a three-point play, pushing the margin to 23-11 with 3:16 left in the opening period. From there, Texas maintained a double-digit lead throughout, outscoring Baylor 50-20 in the paint and dominating transition opportunities.
