As Adam Flagler (16 pts, 4-6 FG) went to the line to sink his sixth free throw on as many attempts, it felt symbolic of the larger threat that the #1 Baylor Bears pose to opponents as they beat the #5 Villanova Wildcats 62-51.
Jared Butler struggled from outside the arc (1-9), and MaCio Teague attempted only 1 three all game. Davion Mitchell — one of the premiere shooters in the country — was 0-3 from deep. But just like everyone has said all season, Baylor and Scott Drew have the luxury of not three, but four starting guards.
