Indianapolis, Ind. (Lucas Oil Stadium – Unity)

  *   Baylor has built double-digit leads in 25 of 28 games this season (all 17 before 21-day layoff, 8 of 11 since).
  *   Baylor is now 52-6 since MaCio Teague and Davion Mitchell joined the starting lineup at the start of the 2019-20 season.
  *   Teague’s 22 points tied the 6th-most by a Baylor player in an NCAA Tournament game.
  *   Adam Flagler had a career-high 4 steals, while Matthew Mayer added 3 steals, giving the Bears 7 of their 9 steals from the bench.
  *   Mitchell was named South Regional MVP, while Jared Butler and Teague joined him on the All-Region Team.
