WACO, Texas (AP) - Texas Tech won another close game against Baylor, this time without the help of a disputed call.
Chesley Dabbs scored the go-ahead basket on a putback with 32 seconds left, and LaToya Davis then hit two free throws after stealing a pass to lift the No. 9 Lady Raiders to a 62-59 win Sunday.
"Nobody deserved to lose this game. It was a great game," Tech coach Marsha Sharp said. "There were a lot of big plays. We were able to make the last one."
Dabbs took Erin Grant's missed jumper and made the winning shot in a game that featured 14 lead changes.
No. 17 Baylor (17-5, 5-4 Big 12), which only had one basket in the last four minutes, then turned the ball over when Davis stole Emily Niemann's pass.
Davis, a 49 percent free-throw shooter, iced the victory for the Lady Raiders (20-3, 6-3) when she made two foul shots with 10 seconds left. Niemann's 3-point shot bounced off the rim as the game ended.
In Tech's 64-63 win over Baylor last month in Lubbock, Alesha Robertson made three throws in the final 7.6 seconds, hitting the game-winner after a disputed call.
Robertson tied that game with two free throws before Jessika Stratton had a turnover when she was called for stepping on the baseline - although a television replay showed her heel never touched it. Robertson made the game-winning free throw with 2.2 seconds left.
"We really hadn't talked about that," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson said. "We know what happened. This was just another Big 12 game, and they're all tough."
On Sunday, Baylor took a 59-58 lead with just under a minute left when Stratton stole the ball from Robertson. Stratton batted it ahead to Chelsea Whitaker for a breakaway layup.
Robertson led the Lady Raiders with 25 points, including five 3-pointers.
"This was a big win for us. We had a reason to prove the first one was not luck," Robertson said. "Baylor's a good team, and I want my biggest games against them."
Sophia Young paced the Lady Bears with 19 points. Steffanie Blackmon scored 17.
Davis scored 13 of her 15 points after halftime, when Baylor held a 33-31 lead.
Tech opened the second half with an 18-4 run, capped by Davis' three-point play that gave the Lady Raiders a 49-37 lead.
Baylor responded with an 18-6 run and the game was tied at 55 after Sophia Young's layup with 5 1/2 minutes left.
"It was a game of runs," Mulkey-Robertson said. "They would make one, and we would make one. We just ran out of time."
