LaceDarius Dunn scored 16, Curtis Jerrells had 14 and Mamadou Diene scored 10. With the victory, Baylor achieved just its fourth 20-win season in the program's 102-year history. Leo Lyons had 22 points and 15 rebounds for Missouri (15-14, 5-9), Keon Lawrence scored 19 and Demarre Caroll scored 17. Baylor trailed 69-56 with 14:16 left in the second half before a 14-0 run-- including back-to-back 3-pointers by Dunn--put the Bears up 70-69 with 9:13 remaining. With the game tied at 77 with 6:34 left, Diene and Rogers scored consecutive baskets off offensive rebounds to put Baylor ahead for good.
