The Baylor Bears' NCAA Tournament run ended in the second round for the third consecutive year after a loss to Clemson on Sunday.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A few minutes before tipoff between third-seeded Baylor and sixth-seeded Clemson on Sunday night in FedExForum, an upbeat Bears coach Scott Drew fired a wadded piece of paper into a trash can about 10 feet behind the Bears’ bench. Swish. Drew’s hot hand carried over from Baylor’s NCAA Tournament opener against Colgate, however the Bears’ collective hot hands did not as the Tigers built a double-digit halftime lead and prevailed 72-64 in the second round.
“We certainly recognize it,” 14th-year Clemson coach Brad Brownell said of the Tigers perhaps not being considered by many as a serious early contender to advance to the Sweet 16 this season. “ I don’t know that we have this big boulder on our shoulder that we’re using as a rallying cry.
