WACO, Texas (AP) - LeRoy Hurd scored 20 points, including seven in the final minutes, as Texas-San Antonio held off Baylor for a 53-45 victory Saturday night.
Hurd also had 11 rebounds for UTSA (2-5), which led comfortably for most of the game before Baylor (3-4) went on a 16-4 run to pull within 44-42 with 2:39 left. Then Hurd made a layup, a jump shot and hit 3-of-4 free throws late to seal the game.
After UTSA opened a 35-19 lead four minutes into the second half, Baylor coach Scott Drew pulled his entire lineup and inserted five walk-on players.
Will Allen sparked a brief rally for the Bears with five points and three rebounds, cutting the Roadrunners lead to 35-24.
Drew substituted his scholarship players back into the game with just over 12 minutes remaining and UTSA leading 38-24.
UTSA led 28-16 at the half after Baylor hit just 5-of-25 shots, including 3-of-15 from 3-point range. Baylor shot 25 percent for the game.
