Boulder, Colo. ? After taking control during the game’s final two minutes, Colorado’s Michel Morandais drew a rave review from Texas coach Rick Barnes, who called him “the most underrated player in the league, maybe the country.”

Morandais scored 24 points, including a tiebreaking three-pointer with 1:58 left that triggered a 13-0 run, and Colorado knocked off No. 3 Texas, 93-80, Tuesday night.

Colorado (13-7, 3-4 Big 12), which beat a Top 10 team for the second time in 13 days, also received 23 points from Blair Wilson.

Stephane Pelle added 18 points and 14 rebounds for CU.

Brandon Mouton and James Thomas each scored 19 points for Texas (14-4, 5-2).

The Buffaloes, who beat then-No. 6 Kansas 60-59 on Jan. 22, broke open a second half that had 19 lead changes with their flurry in the final two minutes.

After misfiring from the free-throw line most of the night — hitting only nine of their first 20 — the Buffaloes went 12-of-14 over the final 3:19.

David Harrison, who had 16 points, hit two free throws to give Colorado an 80-74 lead with 2:50 remaining. Until those foul shots, neither team led by more than four points in the second half.

The Longhorns countered with six straight free throws — four by T.J. Ford — to make it 80-80 with 2:14 to go.

Morandais’ three-pointer from the left side was followed by his steal and a subsequent free throw by teammate Antoine McGee.

After Morandais blocked a shot, he stole an inbounds pass and was fouled, making both free throws for an 86-80 lead with 1:05 left. Morandais, a 6-foot-5 swingman, also played at point guard and helped put the clamps on Ford, who had 15 points and eight assists.

CU fans stormed the court after the win, which snapped Colorado’s six-game losing streak in the series.

“I thought they beat us every way you could beat a basketball team,” Barnes said. “They beat us on the boards, they beat us with their shots and they played great defense when they needed it. They beat us in every area, from the coaching all the way down.”

Baylor 77, Texas A&M 69

Waco, Texas — John Lucas scored 24 points and Lawrence Roberts added 23 points to lead Baylor to its first Big 12 conference win of the season.

Texas A&M (11-7, 3-4 Big 12) took a 61-59 lead with 3:35 left on a three-point play by Bernard King, who finished with 17 points.

Baylor tied the game on its next possession with a layup by Lucas and built a lead of 66-61 with just more than two minutes remaining.

The Aggies narrowed the gap to 66-63, but Baylor (10-8, 1-6) converted 8-of-10 free throws in the final minute and a half to win.

Roberts had 10 rebounds for Baylor.

King needs just six points to tie Iowa State’s Marcus Fizer for the the all-time Big 12 scoring record of 1,830 points.

Baylor tied the score at 41-41 with 13 minutes remaining in the game. Lucas put the Bears ahead for the first time 43-41 seconds later with a steal and a layup.

The Aggies took a 15-7 lead midway through the first half. Baylor struggled from the field, hitting only three of its first 13 field-goal attempts and just one of eight attempts from three-point range. A&M led 32-27 at halftime.
