Arkansas found a hole too deep Monday night.
The Razorbacks fell behind Baylor by 18 points in the first half and nearly rallied to tie the game after halftime, but ran out of gas late and fell 81-72 in the Elite Eight at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Baylor, the top seed from the South Region of the NCAA Tournament, advanced to the Final Four to play Houston on Saturday. The Bears (26-2) are in the Final Four for the first time since 1950.
Arkansas’ season came to an end with a 25-7 record. The Razorbacks were playing in the Elite Eight for the first time since 1995, and had advanced that far by overcoming double-digit deficits in the first three rounds against Colgate, Texas Tech and Oral Roberts.
