Bayl-ed Out at the Buzzer

My spellchecker seriously hates my article titles.  My Mom doesn't understand them.  Yet, despite the obstacles I still continue to strive to provide you, my loyal readers, some of the most terrible puns and forced "clever" headlines on the web. 

Baylor picked up a critical win today.

You're welcome.

It is safe to assume the Baylor Bears are feeling some gratitude as well today after keeping their at-large hopes breathing with an overtime, last-second tip-in win at Texas A&M.

For Baylor it was an absolutely critical win coming off the surprising and disappointing loss at Oklahoma. For Texas A&M, it's their fourth loss in five games since cracking the Top 10 (no need to any clever headlines to say told ya' so... because, well... yeah).   It isn't quite panic time yet in College Stattion, but coupled with Kansas State's dramatic win over Iowa State on a Jacob Pullen game winner, things are getting a little congested in the middle of the Big Twelve pack.

Up next for Baylor is MUST win visit from Nebraska and then a trip to Austin next Saturday to take on the red-hot Longhorns. Texas A&M will try to get things back on track as they enter an enormously critical five game stretch that features only one team with a shot (unlikely, but a shot) to make the Dance in Oklahoma State.  Anything less than 3-2 puts them squarely on the bubble and makes closing with back to back trips to Baylor and Kansas even more daunting.
