When Makhi Mitchell (4 points, 4 rebounds) ran through Adam Flagler (5 pts, 3 rebs) for his fifth foul, you had the sense that the game was about to turn in the Bears’ favor. Flagler hit both free throws to tie the game at 53, and the No. 17 Baylor Bears (16-5, 5-3) road free throws and a Keyonte George hot streak to a 67-64 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks (14-7, 3-5).
Baylor had to sweat out the final shot, a well run tip play off a missed Davonte Davis free throw that found the ball in the hands of the sharpshooting freshman Joseph Davis in the corner.
