WACO, Texas -- Derrick Low had a miserable shooting game until No. 6 Washington State needed its leading scorer the most.

Low hit consecutive 3-pointers in a span of 46 seconds to finally push the Cougars in front and they went on to a 67-64 victory Friday night over a scrappy Baylor team looking for a signature victory.

After being held scoreless in the first half, Low was only 1-of-8 shooting until he made a tying 3-pointer with 3:06 left. After Aaron Bruce missed a shot for Baylor (5-1), Low hit another 3 to make it 63-60 and the Cougars remained in front the rest of the way.

Low finished with nine points on three 3-pointers.

Washington State (7-0) is off to its best start since opening the 1991-92 season with 12 straight victories.

Baylor led 44-30 after Bruce made consecutive 3-pointers of his own. Baylor was its deepest into a season without a loss since it started 12-0 in 2000-01.

Robbie Cowgill led Washington State with 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Aaron Baynes and Daven Harmeling had 10 points apiece.

Bruce had 13 points for Baylor. Curtis Jerrells and LaceDarius Dunn had 11 points.
