Close games are becoming the norm for Baylor. Even more importantly for coach Scott Drew and the Bears, winning these tight contests have also become a regular occurrence. Perry Jones III scored 22 points and grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds, Pierre Jackson hit the go-ahead 3-pointer and Baylor (No. 7 ESPN/USA Today, No. 6 AP) withstood a second-half rally to beat Texas 76-71 on Saturday.
