The 71-year drought has been quelled. Baylor men’s basketball is headed to its first Final Four since 1950 after an 81-72 victory over Arkansas Monday night at Lucas Oils Stadium in Indianapolis.
The Bears came out thrashing. They immediately jumped out to a 7-0 lead and kept pounding the drum until the Razorback deficit reached 18 at the 11:01 mark of the first half. Baylor held at least a 15-point cushion over the No. 3 seed until five minutes remained, as Arkansas ran off nine straight to close the lead to six.
