Anthony Jones' Late Layup Lifts Baylor Over Texas A&M

COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) -- Anthony Jones' layup with 3.1 seconds left in overtime lifted the Baylor Bears to a 76-74 win over No. 16 Texas A&M on Saturday.

A.J. Walton stole the ball from Khris Middleton as the Aggies tried for a last shot.

Perry Jones, who led the Bears (15-7, 5-4 Big 12) with 27 points, gave them a 74-73 lead with his 3-point play with just over a minute left in overtime. Texas A&M's B.J. Holmes made one of two free throw attempts to tie it at 74.

Texas A&M got the ball back, but Middleton was called for a foul for pushing off as he drove to the basket, setting up the shot by Jones. He got the offensive rebound off a missed shot by LaceDarius Dunn just before the shot clock expired and hit the eventual game-winner.

Holmes finished with 19 points to lead Texas A&M (17-5, 4-4).
