Baylor upset top-seeded Gonzaga, 86-70 tonight to win its first NCAA men’s national basketball championship. The Bears, who last played for the title 73 years ago, went into the game a decided underdog. That despite having lost only twice all year and coming off a lopsided win over the University of Houston on Saturday.
The Bears outhustled the typically uptempo Bulldogs on offense, playing with overwhelming energy and force and running off 9 points before Gonzaga even scratched. They would never trail.
The Zags got into foul trouble in the first half when the hero of their game against UCLA — Tyler Suggs — was forced sit after two quick calls went against him. Baylor ran up a 29-12 lead with Suggs on the bench.
As a result, Gonzaga turned the ball over repeatedly and Baylor made them pay, scoring more than a dozen points off the Bulldogs sloppy play in the half.
