Texas Tech gets first win over Baylor

Alesha Robertson scored a season-high 22 points and hit a short jumper with less than a second remaining to lead Texas Tech over No. 5 Baylor 64-62 on Sunday.

Robertson, who tied her career high for rebounds with 11, got the inbound pass from Erin Grant on the left side of the lane with 2 seconds remaining. She banked the ball off the backboard to put Tech up with half a second on the clock, handing the defending national champions their second loss of the season.

Baylor’s Angela Tisdale got off a final desperation shot from Tech’s end of the court that fell well short.

There were 12 lead changes and three ties in the second half.

Tech (7-7, 2-1 Big 12) led 62-57 with 2:48 remaining when Tisdale hit a 3-pointer from the left side and Sophia Young hit a shot from the top of the key to tie it at 62.

The win for Tech was the first in five tries against Baylor (12-2, 2-2).
