Clemson outplayed and outmatched Baylor for the bulk of Sunday's second-round NCAA tournament game.

It then fended off a furious Bears rally from a 15-point second-half deficit to secure a 72-64 win in the second round of the NCAA tournament.

Baylor cut a 61-46 deficit to 66-64 in the game's final minute. But it never never took the lead as Clemson held on to secure a trip to the Sweet 16 and a matchup with No. 2 seed Arizona.

The Bears had a chance to tie the game with 36.
