MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Over the summer, guard Makai Mason walked into Baylor’s locker room before a workout when he saw teammates huddled up around a TV.
They were watching a replay of the Bears’ upset loss to Yale in the 2016 NCAA tournament. Mason nearly high-tailed it out of the room.
“Yeah, I felt a little weird,” he said.
Weird, because Mason was the star of that game … for Yale.
He went 11-of-11 from the foul line and knocked down two 3-pointers on his way to 31 points during Yale’s 79-75 upset.
