Final Stats
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -- 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).
LaToya Davis scored 11 points and had 15 rebounds for Tech, her ninth double-double of the season. Teammate Erin Myrick got 10 points.
Tech outrebounded Baylor 51-29, a season high for the Lady Raiders. Their previous high of 45 came in a double-overtime loss to Penn State in December.
Tisdale scored 15 points and Young added 14 along with nine rebounds.
Baylor led most of the first half but the Lady Raiders used a 9-0 run to take a 22-20 lead when Robertson hit a layup with 4:21 remaining. Back-to-back 3-pointers by Grant and Robertson helped preserve the advantage, and Tech led 29-28 at halftime.
Tech hit 20 of 57 shots (35 percent) from the field, just slightly worse than the Lady Raiders were shooting coming into the game. In its first two conference games, Tech shot only 36 percent.
