Men's Basketball defeats No. 9/9 Baylor, 75-73, at the buzzer

AUSTIN, Texas — Junior guard Tyrese Hunter recorded a team-high 21 points and hit the game-winning driving layup as time expired to lift Texas (13-5, 2-3 Big 12 Conference) to a dramatic 75-73 victory over No. 9/9 Baylor (14-4, 3-2 Big 12) on Saturday afternoon in front of a sellout crowd at Moody Center. This marked the third time this season that the Longhorns have hit a game-winning basket in the closing seconds, but the first true "buzzer beater" (no time remaining after a made shot) in program history since Javan Felix hit a 16-foot jumper as time expired in a 74-72 win over then-No.
