College of Charleston 63, No. 21 Baylor 59: Willis Hall scored 12 points and was clutch down the stretch to lead the Cougars to the upset over the host Bears.
Hall scored six straight points - including his only two field goals - to give the Cougars (3-2) a 61-55 lead with 1:10 left. He sealed the win with a defensive rebound and a single foul shot in the final seconds.
Pierre Jackson led the Bears (4-2) with a game-high 21 points, five rebounds and five assists. Isaiah Austin added 12 points.
The Cougars led 31-26 at halftime and the game was close through the second half. Baylor led by as many as four in the latter session and Jackson's 3-pointer tied it at 55 with 3:53 left.
Hall hit a pair of free throws to break the tie and then added a layup and fadeaway jumper - both off Andrew Lawrence assists - to build College of Charleston's lead.
GAME NOTEBOOK: It was the Cougars' second road win against a Top 25 team and first since 1993. ... The loss ends the Bears' non-conference home win streak at 29. ... The Cougars played without 6-8 junior forward Trent Wiedeman (ankle) for the second straight game.
