Texas 61, No. 16 Baylor 59 (OT): Isaiah Taylor had seven points and the game-winner for the host Longhorns after seven players were ejected in the overtime period.

Demarcus Holland had 12 points and Javan Felix chipped in 10 off the bench for Texas (18-12, 7-10 Big 12), which snapped a four-game losing streak. Kendal Yancy added 11 points and Myles Turner had eight points, seven boards and six blocks.

Taurean Prince had 17 points and seven rebounds off the bench for Baylor (22-8, 10-7). Rico Gathers added 12 points and 11 rebounds on the way to his conference-leading 16th double-double.

The Longhorns ran the clock down to about seven seconds before Taylor took a pass at the top of the key and hit a floater with less than five seconds left. Baylor's Johnathan Motley, Ishmail Wainright and John Heard and Texas' Cameron Ridley, Prince Ibeh, Yancy and Connor Lammert were ejected with 1:57 left in the overtime period for leaving the bench after Taylor and Royce O'Neale got tangled at midcourt going for a loose ball.

Baylor missed 12 straight shots during a 7 1/2-minute span of the second half and Felix capped Texas' 10-2 run to cut the lead to 35-34 with 14 minutes left. Prince hit the first five points of a 13-4 run that gave Baylor a 48-38 lead with 6 1/2 minutes but Texas rallied again, tying the game at 54 on Jonathan Holmes' 3-pointer with 1:04 left.

GAME NOTEBOOK: The win makes Texas coach Rick Barnes the ninth active Division I coach with 400 wins at his current school. ... Baylor, which shot at least 50 percent from the 3-point line in each of its last three games, went 7-of-19 from the arc. ... Baylor went ahead on a four-point possession - Gathers' layup and Prince's tip-in on his missed free throw - with eight minutes left in the first half and never trailed again until the overtime.
