Baylor overrun by No. 19 Arizona’s balanced attack in 74-67 home loss

By Jackson Posey | Sports Writer

With a characteristically raucous Foster Pavilion atmosphere soundtracking an attempted second-half comeback, Baylor fell short against No. 19 Arizona 74-67 Monday night on ESPN.

“I think there was a little bit more grit [in the second half],” said Norchad Omier, who finished with 15 points and 13 rebounds. “Not enough, you know. We came on more aggressive, we did little things different than we did in the first half, and that made the defense better. But it was not enough.”

The Bears struggled to convert from downtown, clanking triples on three straight possessions and ceding an early lead.
