Baylor Defeats St. John's in Double Overtime

In a thrilling double-overtime match at the Baha Mar Championship, No. 13 Baylor defeated No. 22 St. John's 99-98 thanks to a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Jeremy Roach. Despite missing a crucial free throw that could have sealed the game earlier, Roach rebounded from the setback and scored 20 points, including the game-winner. Baylor, which was down by as much as 18 points in the first half, rallied back, showcasing resilience with six players scoring in double figures. St. John's coach Rick Pitino criticized the officiating, particularly a replay review that he felt disrupted his team's free-throw shooter.

Roach's late-game heroics earned him instant admiration from his new teammates and fans, further establishing his impact since transferring from Duke.
