In contrast, BYU had a record of 5-5 in their last ten games, averaging 83.7 points scored and 81.7 points allowed. However, they were also struggling, having lost their last four games leading into this contest, including a 77-66 defeat to Houston on February 8.

Following that, Robert Wright III added to the tally with two free throws, bringing the score to 96-90. Baylor fought back with a layup from Isaac Williams IV, narrowing the gap to 96-92. However, BYU maintained their composure, with AJ Dybantsa scoring another layup to push the score to 98-92, and Carr capped off the scoring with another jumper, solidifying the victory.

As the game concluded, Baylor's chances of winning were effectively extinguished, with a home win probability of 0.0%. This result not only adds to BYU's confidence but also raises questions about Baylor's ability to turn their season around, particularly with their struggles at home.
