Duke and Baylor primed for rematch in an NCAA Tournament 2nd-round game
DURHAM, N.C. — Baylor guard Taliah Scott is confident that her team will be able to match Duke's physicality when the teams meet Sunday in an NCAA Tournament second-round game.
The game is a rematch of the teams' season-opener that was played in Paris. Baylor won that matchup 58-52.
"We're going to have to out-tough them. We're going to have to play bigger than we are," Scott said Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium. "I think that we're ready to do that. I think we proved that we can do that in the first matchup."
So much has changed, for both No. 3 Duke and No. 6 Baylor, since that game on November 3. The Bears (25-8) started 19-3 after climbing to No. 7 in the AP poll, but struggled down the stretch, losing in the Big 12 quarterfinals to Colorado. The Blue Devils (25-8), meanwhile, fell out of the Top 25 after a 3-6 start, but won 22 of their next 24 games, including the Atlantic Coast Conference title.

Baylor, Duke to meet again in Round of 32
After clawing past Nebraska in the first round, No. 6 seed Baylor is right back where its season began: staring down Duke, this time with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line.
The Bears (25-8, 13-5 Big 12) and the No. 3-seeded Blue Devils (25-8, 16-2 ACC) will face off in the Round of 32 at 3 p.m. Sunday in Durham, N.C. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
The teams first met in the season opener in Paris, where Baylor used a fourth-quarter push to grind out a 58-52 win. Months later, both teams return to the same matchup looking far different — Duke as the ACC champion and a top seed on its home floor, and Baylor as a battle-tested team trying to punch its ticket to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
