After trailing by five points in the opening minutes, Texas tied the game at 11 following a Lee steal and free throw. Thirty seconds later, Lee jumped an errant pass and drove in for a layup to give the Longhorns the lead for good. Texas then put together a decisive 16-0 run in the first quarter, during which six different players scored and Baylor committed six turnovers in just over four and a half minutes.

Harmon’s three-point play during that stretch made it 23-11 with 3:16 left in the first quarter. Texas maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way.

Baylor finished with a season-high 30 turnovers — its most since Nov. 9, 2008, per Stephen Hawkins of the Associated Press — leading to 42 Texas points.
