Baylor rallies in second half to beat Louisville for Battle 4 Atlantis title

King McClure scored all 15 of his points in the second half and No. 20 Baylor rallied from 22 points down to beat No. 10 Louisville, 66-63, on Friday in the Battle 4 Atlantis championship game at Paradise Island, Bahamas.

Johnathan Motley also had 15 points, and Terry Maston had 10 of his 12 in the final 20 minutes. The Bears (6-0) shot 65% in the second half in a stunning reversal from a start that saw the Cardinals shut down just about everything.

Louisville led by 22 points late in the first half, by 20 early in the second and 54-42 on Quentin Snider’s three-pointer at the 10:07 mark. But the Bears responded with a 21-5 run, with Motley putting the ball on the floor to drive by Anas Mahmoud for the go-ahead dunk with 2:49 left.

Motley was selected the tournament MVP. Donovan Mitchell scored 17 points for Louisville (5-1), which shot just 33% (nine of 27) in the second half.
