FORT WORTH, Texas — (AP) - RJ Davis scored a career-high 30 points and eighth-seeded North Carolina beat defending champion Baylor 93-86 in overtime in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Bears wiped out a 25-point deficit but never could get ahead. North Carolina's Brady Manek had a season high-season 26 points before getting ejected midway because of a flagrant foul midway through the second half.
That was right after his 3-pointer had given the Tar Heels their largest lead.
Armando Bacot had 15 points and 16 rebounds for the 26-9 Tar Heels. Adam Flagler had 27 points for Baylor, which finished 27-7.
