Sometimes, prayers get answered. Thursday night, it happened twice in seven seconds, as No. 13 Baylor hit back-to-back contested 3-pointers to complete an 18-point, double-overtime comeback win over No. 22 St. John’s in the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championship, 99-98.

“Everybody came together, everybody’s bought in,” said fifth-year guard Jeremy Roach, who scored 20 points and hit the game-winning buzzer beater in double-overtime. “I think that’s the biggest thing. Give credit to the guys, give credit to the coaches. Just a big-time win.”

Rick Pitino’s squad shot out of the gates.
