WACO, Texas — Baylor goes over the play in practice every day. It worked to perfection when the sixth-ranked Bears needed it.
Angela Tisdale used a screen from Rachel Allison to get into the corner for a three-pointer with 19 seconds left and Baylor held on for a 61-60 victory over No. 25 Texas on Wednesday night.
Baylor (19-1, 7-0 Big) won its 12th straight game and matched the 1975-76 team for the best overall start in team history.
Tisdale, the only player left from Baylor's 2005 national-championship team, had shot only 9 of 41 from the field in her past six games against the Longhorns. She was 6 for 12 with 19 points this time.
"This felt good," Tisdale said. "I know we didn't play that good, but to win that game under those circumstances felt good."
Texas (15-6, 3-4 Big 12) had a chance at winning the game, but Kathleen Nash's shot with 3.4 seconds left was blocked by Danielle Wilson. It was the only block of the game for the 6-foot-3 sophomore, but saved the game.
