PORTLAND, Ore. — Rooted in an underdog mentality, it was seemingly No. 5 seed Baylor women’s basketball versus the world.

Despite trailing by six at halftime, the Bears hit seven of their next nine shots and had No. 1 seed USC on the ropes. However, Baylor missed its first eight shots in the fourth quarter, which allowed the Trojans to stomp back and end the Bears’ run in the Sweet 16 by a score of 74-70 on Saturday at the Moda Center.
