A Mauling

The Baylor Bears dominated Gonzaga Monday night to claim the school’s first Men’s National Championship. It was an impressive performance by Baylor. The Bears got out to an immediate 10-point lead and never flinched. Their suffocating defense and precise offense made the previously undefeated Bulldogs look out of sync all night.

Congrats to the Bears and head coach Drew Scott. He took the job in 2003 after the previous head coach was fired amid a tragic scandal.

Also as a fan of Fixer Upper, it was nice to see Chip and Joanna Gaines, both Baylor alumni, celebrating their school’s win. Baylor is located in Waco, Texas which is also the home to the Gaines and their Magnolia empire.

Congrats also goes out to Scott Fiasco on winning the HoopsHysteria 2021 tournament pool. Scott correctly selected Baylor to win it all.
