Baylor spoiled Texas' going-away party for the Longhorns' old arena.

Adam Flagler and James Akinjo each scored 19 points and No. 3 Baylor pulled away late for a tough 68-61 win over No. 21 Texas on Monday night, quieting a raucous sellout crowd of more than 16,000 in the final men's basketball game at the 45-year-old Frank Erwin Center.

Flagler scored 16 in the second half behind four 3-pointers, while Akinjo provided the scoring punch and key ballhandling late for the Bears (25-5, 13-4 Big 12). Akinjo also had eight rebounds and seven assists.

Arena security was braced for another attempt by Texas fans to rush the court after a win, only to watch them start heading for the exits throughout the final minute.

Baylor also got 13 points from Kendall Brown and 12 from Flo Thamba.

"I just had to make the shots at the end of the day. I got a lot of wide-open looks," Flagler said.
