Sunday February 19, 2012 8:18 AM

Btittney Griner had 18 points, 14 rebounds and matched a career high with five assists as top-ranked Baylor slipped past Texas Tech 56-51 in a Big 12 game last night to stay unbeaten.

Destiny Williams added 16 points for the Lady Bears (27-0, 14-0), getting most of her points on layups — several coming at key times. Her layup with 7:49 left broke a 46-all tie and put Baylor ahead to stay.

Texas Tech (17-9, 5-9) is the only Big 12 team to keep the final margin against Baylor under 10 points. They lost 72-64 at home a month earlier.
