No. 19 Baylor men's basketball (10-4, 0-2) lost to No. 17 TCU (13-1, 2-0) in the Bears' first home conference game of the season, as Horned Frog guard Mike Miles Jr (33 points) outdueled Keyonte George (27 points).
Both teams opened the game blazing hot from the field. It took over four minutes for a shot to clang off the rim; at that point, TCU led 11-9, and George's nine points (all on three-pointers) paced Baylor.
But like their cold-blooded, reptilian counterparts, the TCU Horned Frogs went cold. After starting the game on a tear, they scored just two points in the following 4 1/2 minutes, allowing Baylor to build up a small lead.
And with 3.4 seconds on the clock, Miles Jr hit Chuck O'Bannon Jr, who drilled a side-step jumper from the left corner to give the Horned Frogs the lead.
A football pass to Josh Ojianwuna allowed Baylor to start its final possession in enemy territory. A give-and-go to Keyonte George nearly gave the Bears the win, but Xavier Cork blocked the potential buzzer-beating layup, ending the game in dramatic fashion, 88-87.
