For the second straight season, Baylor was one of the first top-seeded teams to go down in the NCAA Tournament. A year ago, the Bears' First round exit -- falling to tournament darling Georgia State -- was one of a flurry of results that broke the entire nation's bracket.
Fans were little more wary this year, particularly with Ivy League champion Yale playing so close to home in nearby Providence, and the 79-75 loss had less shock value. That does not mean it was without drama, as the Bears stormed back from an 11-point deficit in the final 6:47 on the back of athletic forward Taurean Prince.
