Watch: TCU upsets No. 25 Baylor with clutch sequence in final seconds

Chaos and college basketball go hand in hand and nowhere is it more prevalent than in the Big 12 Conference.

The TCU Horned Frogs (10-7) pulled off a huge upset over in-state rival No. 25 Baylor (11-6) on Sunday night, needing a clutch three-point shot and a last-second defensive stop to get the job done.

Senior Brendan Wenzel (17 points off the bench) chucked up a huge bucket from the corner to put TCU up, 74-71, with just a few seconds left to play in regulation.

Baylor's Jayden Nunn tried to have his own heroic moment at the buzzer but was denied as the crowd in Waco, Texas fell silent in the disappointment of defeat.

Sunday's win continued TCU's recent trend of alternating victories over the course of its last seven games played, although that pattern is likely to persist with No. 9 Kansas (13-4) visiting Fort Worth on Wednesday.

Baylor will likely slip out of the national rankings after climbing its way into the spotlight. The Bears will try to get back on track against Kansas State (7-10) who visits on Wednesday.
