Baylor is going home early once again.
After winning the national championship in 2021, Baylor has bowed out of the NCAA men's tournament in the second round for the second consecutive season. This time around, the Bears, the No. 3 seed in the South region, just had no answers for the offensive firepower of Creighton, the No. 6 seed.
Ryan Nembhard led the way for Creighton in a 85-76 victory in Denver Sunday as the Bluejays shot a sizzling 45.8% from 3-point range. The Bluejays also went a perfect 22-of-22 from the free-throw line to help punch a second Sweet 16 berth in the last three seasons.
