turnovers. that's really been the difference here for baylor. bill: absolutely. williams hasn't played much. a little zone look and this is one of the things they've done over their past career. jim: davis. short with it. bill: that really threw them off out of the time-out. takes a little time to adjust. grant: impressive, the multiple efforts to close out to the shot there. jim: and that's 11 straight misses from the field. bill: this is dangerous. use the whole floor. jim: vital get it to the far side. off the glass. vital! bill: had to revitalize! wow. with all those foul problems, he hasn't been on the floor very much. boy, did he make that one count. [whistle] jim: tate fouled and vital will be out of the game with his

fifth. grant: a beautiful slam right there. no box out by the razorbacks. vital taking control there with the authority and the finish but unfortunately on the other end, raft. just not -- bill: not a good one. did that bring back some memories, by the way? grant: what, that foul? bill: no, the dunk. [laughter] both. grant: that have a long, long time ago. bill: when you were playing at duke, that's when i got to know your parents. they were having a lemonade or two at the hotel across the street. speaking of great athlete, right? your dad? at least there's one in the family, anyhow. grant: did he text you that?

bill: from yale to the nfl. what a great career he had. grant: this is important now. it allows for arkansas to set up a full court trap pressure, try to convert some turnovers but those guards out there for baylor. bill: it's a gamble but i agree, have to do something a little bit different. jim: so it's a 10-point lead, baylor two and a half minutes away from breaking a 21-year drought as they were last in the final four in 1950. bill: look at the floor shooters on the floor. all "around the horn." pick your poison?m: tapped out to the spot. arkansas needs to make something out of it. bill: oh, what a play! jim: whoa! tchatchoua! bill: everybody is going to know my name. goodness.

scott drew for this lineup. just can't help. jim: davis with the basket. 49 seconds. bill: no quit in that kid. i think you have to give it. jim: got to do something in a hurry here. bill: yeah. jim: got to foul him. the time is running out. [whistle] bill: a waste of about 10 or 11 1 seconds, i think. there are just so many weapons with baylor. don't you guys agree? you name it, neck shoot it. centers and towards know exactly what they have to do in terms of screening, keeping balls alive. offensive rebound, kickout. grant: everybody understands their role and who they are. amazing these three, dynamic,

explosive guards can co-exist and thrive playing with one another. doesn't happen often. jim: flagler at the line. now seven points on the night. bill: i think happiness for this team is winning. i don't think they worry about minutes, who gets the shots, the applaud its, the accolades. grant: it's an experienced play. played some time in college and understand this opportunity for a final four doesn't come often. jim: it has been a long, long time and it's about to end. oh, and a basket again by davis. he's played with great confidence tonight. 25 seconds. and they're just backing off now. again, they've lost some time there. bill: yeah, give ate shot, right? jim: why not?

bill: their great pressing ability. proud daddy. what a nice year they've had as a family. jim: homer drew and his son was a graduate assistant at butler. scott. then joined him as an assistant and then took over the head coaching job at valparaiso, one year then headed to baylor. the program was in shambles when he went down there. bill: reconstruction. grant: first three seasons didn't have a full allotment of scholarships. jim: 21 wins total the first eears. i w dn the first jeff hte and i belie it or not. but we asked why would you take this job? and obviously he knew what he was doing. [whistle] jim: moody. he'll shoot a couple.

grant: unfortunate we haven't really seen the talent of this young man. moody, fantastic season. led this team here in this elite eight moment. hasn't been able to showcase his ability. bill: and reflecting back, notae, jim, and you jumped right on it. four on the foul. and then maybe a lack of communication with the bench and also the player has to know what he has. and that took starch out of their game. jim: final nine seconds, we have our first national semifinal matchup set. gets away and it's been a long time coming. the baylor bears are back in the final four for the first time in 71 years!

back in 1950, the president was harry truman. dr. j. born that year. teddy pender grass who we lost in 2009 but who remains attached to this moment for "one shining moment." they played with that pressure of being one of the top teams, them and gonzaga all year and they've made it to thero land, they've made it to the final four. bill: so much to be admired. jim: baylor and houston all set for the matchup. the cougars advancing earlier today with a win over oregon state. it will be for kelvin sampson,

his second final four team. he took oklahoma in hired at ho roveleds to come be the head coach. mack rhoades the athletic director now at baylor. bill: a lot of people are going to be con have -- convoluted here watching that game. right down the middle, baby. jim: the best in all of us comes out when we have the chance to call this great festival, doesn't it? for bill, grant, tracy, jim nantz saying so long from indianapolis. the south regional champion, the baylor bears. back to the studio after these messages. ♪ the thing about freedom is... freedom has no limits. there's no such thing as too many adventures... or too many unforgettable moments. there will never be too many stories to write... or too many memories to make.
