We thought that Baylor had a good shot, that several things would work in their favor, but never in our wildest dreams did we expect the Bears to punk undefeated Gonzaga.
But that’s exactly what they did.
And you can blame it on emotional and physical exhaustion after the passion the Zags were forced to pour into the UCLA win if you want. A championship team finds a way to keep up though and Gonzaga just couldn’t and so the Zags finish the season at 31-1, scoring just 70 ppg, about 21.1 points under their average and losing by 16.
