No. 2 Baylor, No. 6 FSU Upset on the Road by Unranked TCU, Clemson

Adam WellsFeb 29, 2020

The top of the Associated Press Top 25 will be given another shake-up next week after No. 2 Baylor and No. 6 Florida State lost to unranked opponents Saturday. 

The Seminoles dropped a thriller at Clemson when Al-Amir Dawes' layup with one second remaining gave the Tigers a 70-69 win.

There was a controversial moment near the end of the game when Trent Forrest had an opportunity for a go-ahead dunk, but an inadvertent whistle from the officials blew the play dead. 

After winning 23 straight, the Bears have dropped two of their last three games. Desmond Bane led TCU to a 75-72 victory over its Big 12 rival at Schollmaier Arena. 

The hallmark of Baylor's success has been a stifling defense. TCU's 75 points Saturday represented the highest single-game total allowed by the Bears since an 87-78 win over Villanova on Nov. 24. 

The Horned Frogs shot 48.9 percent overall, made nine of their 20 attempts from three-point range and had a 32-22 advantage in free-throw attempts. They scored 54 of their 75 points in the second half to erase a 39-27 deficit with 16:26 remaining.

Baylor got within three at 71-68 on MaCio Teague's three, but PJ Fuller got behind the defense after the inbounds pass for an easy dunk that put TCU back up by five with 17.1 seconds left. 

The loss is a devastating blow for the Bears' hopes of winning the Big 12 regular-season title. Their conference record is 14-2, one game behind Kansas (15-1). Both teams have two games remaining, with No. 22 Texas Tech and No. 20 West Virginia up next for Baylor. 

Clemson has a pedestrian 15-13 record, but head coach Brad Brownell has gotten his team up for the biggest games. The Tigers have defeated three elite ACC programs when those opponents were ranked in the Top 10 of the Associated Press poll:   

The loss drops Florida State into a tie with Louisville for the best record in conference play (14-4). The Seminoles have the tiebreaker advantage over the Cardinals for ACC tournament seeding with two head-to-head wins. 

Duke is also hovering with a 13-4 conference record heading into Saturday night's game at Virginia. 

Florida State still has games against unranked Notre Dame and Boston College as it pursues its first ACC regular-season title.
