Midway through the third, Dangerfield responded to a layup from Smith that put Baylor up by three with a trey to knot the game but Baylor used a 9-2 run to gain a seven-point advantage. A Williams free throw, layup from Walker, and three from Dangerfield got UConn back within three, and a missed layup from Walker off the backdoor with under 10 seconds left would have made it a one-point game.
