Chase Hunter had 20 points and six assists, and No. 6 seed Clemson held off third-seeded Baylor for a 72-64 victory in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.
The Tigers advanced to the Sweet 16 for the second time in coach Brad Brownell’s 14 seasons. They also made it in 2018, when they lost to Kansas in the third round.
“This was a big win for us,” Brownell said. “Baylor’s obviously a very talented, well-coached team. So for us to play the way we did, I thought our defense was outstanding throughout. And that was a big key in both of our wins here in Memphis.”
Joseph Girard III scored 13 points for the Tigers (23-11), and Ian Schieffelin and PJ Hall each had 11.
Next up for Clemson is No. 2 seed in Arizona in the West Region semifinals in Los Angeles. The Wildcats advanced with a 78-68 victory over Dayton on Saturday.
RayJ Dennis led Baylor with 27 points, including 21 in the second half. Ja’Kobe Walter added 20 points, but the Bears (24-11) lost in the second round of the NCAA tourney for the third straight year.
Baylor went 16 for 26 at the foul line, compared to 20 for 24 for Clemson.
The Tigers controlled the game through the first half and most of the second. They opened a 61-46 lead on Schieffelin’s wild layup with 6:41 left.
Schieffelin flipped the ball over his head, and it somehow went in the basket as he was fouled. But he missed the ensuing free throw.
Baylor had a chance to tie the game with 36.2 seconds left, but Walter missed two foul shots. RJ Godfrey then made four free throws and Girard hit two to help Clemson close it out.
The Bears struggled from 3-point range after their long-distance shooting played a big role in Friday night’s 92-67 victory over Colgate. They went 6 for 24 from deep against the Tigers after going 16 for 30 from 3 in their opening game in the NCAA tourney.
The sixth-seeded Tigers (23-11) took care of No. 11 New Mexico and No. 3 Baylor to reach the Sweet 16 for the fifth time in program history. Chase Hunter has scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games in March Madness that has propelled the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament West Region semifinal.
The winner of the Clemson vs. Arizona game (7:09 p.m. ET, CBS) will face the winner of top-seeded North Carolina vs. No. 4 seed Alabama (which follows the Tigers' game) in the Elite Eight.
