The Bulldogs remained in return and reduced the advance to one with 29 seconds to do after the two teams exchanged buckets for several minutes. However, the bulldogs hung VJ Edgecombe with 9.3 seconds to play and the recruit of the Big 12 of the year made both.
After Claudell Harris Jr. missed a match tied three for the Mississippi State, Baylor had the chance to put the match with 0.5 seconds to play, while they go to the free throw line.
