L.J. Cryer tied his season high of six 3-pointers and scored 23 points to help No. 3 Houston notch a 65-61 victory over Baylor on Saturday night in Big 12 play at Waco, Texas.

Milos Uzan added 12 points as the Cougars (27-4, 19-1 Big 12) won their 10th consecutive game. Houston also improved to 10-0 on the road this season and won its 14th straight overall, the longest active streak in the nation.

J’Wan Roberts contributed 11 points and 10 rebounds and Emanuel Sharp also scored 11 points for the Cougars, who will be the No. 1 seed in next week’s Big 12 tournament. Baylor will be the No. 7 seed.

Roberts raised his career rebound count to 1,005, joining school legends Elvin Hayes, Hakeem Olajuwon and Greg “Cadillac” Anderson as the only players in program history to top 1,000. The same quartet are the only players with 1,000 points and 1,000 boards in Cougars’ history.
