The game plan for No. 3 seed Baylor men’s basketball was simple. Take away No. 6 seed Creighton University’s junior center Ryan Kalkbrenner and let the other guys beat them.

Unfortunately for the Bears, the Bluejays found high-level production from all of the pieces they needed in order to win the NCAA Tournament round of 32 matchup, 85-76, Sunday night in the Ball Arena in Denver.

After Kalkbrenner exploded for a career-high 31 points in the opening round on Friday, Baylor (23-11) limited him to just 10 on Sunday.

“We wanted to collectively do a good job making it hard for him,” redshirt senior guard Adam Flagler said.
