JUST HOW HE DREW IT UP: BAYLOR RECENT SUCCESS IN THE BIG 12
• Baylor is 40-36 in Big 12 games in the last five seasons and has tallied the four highest Big 12 win totals in program history during that span -- 11 in 2009-10, 9 in 2007-08, 8 in 2011-12 and 7 in 2010-11.
• In the first 11 seasons of the Big 12 Conference, Baylor amassed a 45-131 league record. Prior to Scott Drew's arrival in 2003, Baylor won only 33 Big 12 games in the conference's first seven seasons.
HALFTIME INDICATOR
• Baylor is 19-0 this season when leading at halftime, posting a 121-24 record in the Scott Drew era, and has won seven straight Big 12 games when leading at the half.
• Baylor is 2-4 this season when it trails at the half and has lost four straight Big 12 games when trailing at the half.
#THECARDIACBEARS
• Baylor's 64-60 win Feb. 4 at Oklahoma State was the fifth time this season that the Bears made the game-tying, go-ahead or game-winning basket in the final 3 minutes of regulation or overtime.
• Four of those five belong to PG Pierre Jackson, who has five go-ahead, game-tying or game-winning plays to his credit this season. In Baylor's 83-80 OT win Dec. 23 vs. West Virginia, Jackson's 3-pointer with 27 seconds left in the second half tied the game and ultimately forced overtime. Five days later, Jackson provided the game-winning layup with 28 seconds left to give Baylor a 54-52 win Dec. 28 vs. Mississippi State.
• In Big 12 play, Jackson has drained both a go-ahead (Jan. 28 vs. Texas, 2:36 remaining) and a game-winning (Feb. 1 at Texas A&M, 17 seconds left) 3-pointer.
• Quincy Acy's layup (assist from Jackson) with 1:29 remaining in the second half put Baylor up for good en route to a 64-60 road win Feb. 4 at Oklahoma State.
#CLUTCH IN CLOSE GAMES
• Baylor entered the season with a sub-.500 record in games decided by 5 points or fewer in the Scott Drew era. This season, Baylor is 7-1 in such games with six wins coming away from home.
• Five of the seven wins have been decided by 3 points or fewer -- Dec. 17 at BYU (86-83), Dec. 23 vs. West Virginia (83-81, OT) in Las Vegas, Dec. 28 vs. No. 14 Mississippi State (54-52) in Dallas, Jan. 10 at No. 18 Kansas State (75-73) and Feb. 1 at Texas A&M (63-60).
• Baylor's lone loss decided by 5 points or fewer this season was a 1-point loss Jan. 21 to Missouri (89-88).
#ACYWITHTHESMASH
• Senior F Quincy Acy ranks second in school history -- behind former teammate Josh Lomers -- with a career 60.7 field goal percentage. Acy, regarded as one of the nation's most ferocious dunkers, has recorded 225 career field goals via the dunk.
• In 126 career games, 51 percent (225 of 449) of Acy's career FGM have been dunks.
