Baylor reached the Final Four for the first time in 71 years, getting 22 points from MaCio Teague and a dominating defensive performance from Davion Mitchell to beat Arkansas 81-72 on Monday night. The South Region final was a reunion of former Southwest Conference programs aiming to join another (Houston) in the Final Four. The Bears ran away from there, right into next weekend's Final Four against the Cougars. The expected fast-twitch South Region final was going to be a drought-ender, just a matter of how long. Baylor had been in this spot before under Drew, reaching the Elite Eight in 2010 and 2012.
