Quincy Acy netted 13 points and pulled down six rebounds, while Quincy Miller had 11 points and eight rebounds for the Bears (14-0), who are off to their best start in the history of Baylor basketball, eclipsing a 13-0 start in 1945-46. A.J. Walton chipped in 10 points for Baylor.

Elston Turner scored a game-high 21 points for the Aggies (9-4), and Khris Middleton finished with 14 points. Texas A&M has dropped three of its last four contests.

Baylor opened the game with eight straight points, but Texas A&M scored seven of the next nine points to make it 10-7, six-plus minutes into the first half.

The Bears responded with a 7-0 run to take a 17-7 lead, before the run was snapped by a Turner layup with 9:39 on the first half clock.

A pair of free throws by Turner pulled the Aggies within 19-11, but Baylor answered with a 9-0 push to expand its lead to 28-11 with 2:30 to play before the break. Texas A&M closed the opening 20 minutes with three-pointers on its final two trips down the floor and trailed 30-17 at halftime.

Despite the comfortable margin, Baylor shot only 36 percent from the floor in the half, while Texas A&M shot 21 percent (6-of-28) from the field -- including a stretch of 12 consecutive misses from the floor.

The Bears opened the second half with an 11-5 push to lead 41-22 less than five minutes into the half.

Baylor led by double-digits throughout the majority of the half, until Texas A&M made it interesting with less than two minutes to play.

A pair of free throws by Middleton cut the deficit to single-digits, 59-50, for the first time since it was 19-11, but the Aggies didn't get any closer, as they missed shots on their final two possessions and were forced to foul with 13 seconds left, sealing the win for Baylor.

FOOTBALL BETTING : Cassel Signs Contract

Kansas City, MO - Kansas City has not officially named Matt Cassel its starting quarterback, but there can be no doubt now.

NFL Betting
After praising his leadership and work ethic through spring workouts, the Chiefs announced Tuesday they had signed the 27-year-old Cassel to a multiyear contract. Terms were not disclosed, but he will almost certainly be one of the highest-paid members of the team.
"We are excited to be able to reach a long-term agreement for Matt Cassel to be a Kansas City Chief for many years to come," owner and board chairman Clark Hunt said in a statement. "His proven leadership on and off the field will be a tremendous asset to the organization."
Patriots made him their franchise player, meaning his salary for this season will be about $15 million.
New head coach Todd Haley, taking over for Herm Edwards after a 2-14 season, refused to name a starter at any position during offseason workouts. But it was obvious to everyone the team belonged to Cassel.
"I go out there each and every day with that focus that I'm the starter," Cassel said during a June minicamp. "Competition brings out the best in everybody."
The signing will come as welcome news to Cassel's new coaches and teammates. Amiable and hardworking, online football betting he appeared to win over everyone at minicamp.
"I think he's got some unique leadership qualities. I think his teammates like him and have respect for him. I think he's doing a pretty good job on the field, too," Haley said last month. "He's doing everything that I'm asking him, that our coaches are asking him to do. I don't have one single complaint how he's carrying himself."
After one workout, wide receiver Devard Darling declared Cassel "a breath of fresh air."
"He has a lot of swagger, a lot of confidence. It's good for us," said Darling. "We trust in him that he's going to go out there and lead us all the way."
nse to accommodate his specific abilities.
Trapped on the bench behind Heisman winners Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart at USC and then unable to unseat Super Bowl MVP Brady at New England, Cassel seemed destined to be a backup all his life. As Brady was helped off the field last September, Cassel seized the opportunity he'd been waiting for since high school.
In his only sustained action since his teens, he hit 349 of 555 passes for 3,949 yards at New England. He had 23 touchdown passes and 13 interceptions as the Patriots, who had gone unbeaten through the regular season the year before, finished 11-5 and out of the playoffs.
Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli, who had been Bill Belichick's assistant in New England, engineered the trade after the Patriots became convinced that Brady would recover fully from his knee operation.
"Since Matt arrived in Kansas City, he has embraced the team and the community," Pioli said. "His work ethic, his ability and competitive presence is what we expect from our players."
