Baylor Bound for the Final Four: Bears Overcome Arkansas 81-72

For the first time since 1950, the Baylor Bears are headed to the Final Four, the culmination of two years of dominance.

The Arkansas Razorbacks — an old Southwest Conference foe — made them work for it, though. This 81-72 win took scrap. Eric Mussleman’s squad is defined by grit and toughness. Their physicality put Baylor in a foul pinch. Davion Mitchell (12 pts, 6 ast) play just 9 minutes in the first half. His stint on the bench coincided with Arkansas closing the lead to single digits, when before it was an absolute bloodbath on both ends in Baylor’s favor.
