Nick Anderson scored 14 points to lead Texas A&M to a 73-69 victory over Baylor Tuesday night.
Texas A&M (7-15, 1-9 Big 12) shot 47 percent for the second straight game to win its first Big 12 game, ending a nine-game skid. Baylor (14-6, 3-6) outrebounded the Aggies 45-34.
Five Aggies scored in double figures, led by Anderson. Jesse King scored 13 and Bernard King scored 11. Nolan Butterfras and Andy Leatherman each scored 10.
Four players scored 63 of Baylor's 69 points. Terry Black led the Bears with 21. Greg Davis scored 15, along with 14 from Demarcus Minor and 13 from Wendell Greenleaf.
The Aggies capitalized on 14 Baylor turnovers in the first half to build a 13-point lead. Baylor opened the second half on a 14-4 run, cutting A&M's lead to just three.
A 6-9 performance on the free-throw line during the final minute was enough to outlast the Bears.
