ATLANTA, March 25 (UPI) -- Michael Davis scored 18 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and recorded six blocks Sunday, boosting Kentucky into the NCAA's Final Four with an 82-70 win over Baylor.

Terrence Jones helped the Wildcats' cause with 12 points, nine rebounds, six assists and three blocks.

Third-seeded Baylor (30-8) was led by Quincy Acy with 22 points while Pierre Jackson added 21 in the Bears' loss.
