No. 6 Baylor Holds off No. 14 Gonzaga, 64-63

Game featured 14 lead changes and five ties

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — Adam Flagler hit a pair of 3s as No. 6 Baylor scored the final eight points of the game to rally past No. 14 Gonzaga 64-63 Friday night.
 
The Bears (6-2) trailed 63-56 before Flagler hit a 3-pointer with 1:33 left. Flagler's 3 with just over a minute to play cut Baylor's deficit to 63-62.
 
After a Gonzaga shot clock violation, Flagler's 3-point attempt for the lead was off the mark, but teammate Jalen Bridges was fouled on the rebound attempt. Bridges hit two free throws with 16 seconds left for the lead.
