Baylor's overachieving season has come to an end.

After making it to the second round of the NCAA tournament without two of their five starters, the Baylor (20-14) fell to Gonzaga (32-3) 83-71 on Saturday.

Here are five takeaways from Baylor's loss:

3-point shooting disappears

Baylor was hot from beyond the arc in its first-round win over Syracuse on Thursday. The Bears shot 47 percent from 3-point range and combined with Syracuse hit 26 3-pointers, which set a new NCAA tournament record for this decade.

After Jared Butler hit Baylor's first 3-pointer against Gonzaga in the first minute of the game, the Bears finished the first half missing their final nine attempts from deep.
