NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Fresh off its first NCAA tournament win in six decades, third-seeded Baylor will face 11th-seeded Old Dominion in the second round of the South Regional on Saturday.

The Bears (26-7) edged Sam Houston State in the first round, and Old Dominion (27-8) held off Notre Dame by a point.
