Pierre Jackson's three with 29 seconds remaining put Baylor in front for good as the Bears went on to defeat Texas A&M 63-60.
The Baylor Bears will prepare to face the Texas A&M Aggies on Wednesday as this will mark the 205th meeting of the "Battle of the Brazos" series and the last conference game between the two rival schools as the Aggies move over to the SEC. Baylor has won the last four versus Texas A&M and will look to protect their No. 6 ranking and keep up with Kansas and Missouri in the Big 12 title race.
Texas A&M will look to focus on the slowing down Perry Jones III, but are aware of the emergence of the Baylor guards like Pierre Jackson.
"Perry Jones is obviously one of the best players in the country and he’s a tough matchup for anybody but their guards have made them a lot better, there’s no question," Kennedy said.
Wednesday will mark just the sixth time in 205 series meetings that Baylor is actually ranked and only the 12th series meeting with either team ranked.
Game date/time: Wednesday, February 1, 8:00 p.m. CT
