Baylor’s seasoned ended with a loss to Gonzaga—one of the nation’s best teams and a No. 1 seed—83-71.
Baylor—a team of so many second half runs, including a 19 point comeback against Texas—made one to start the second half. Trailing 39-23, the Bears started the half on a 10-0 run, led by a King McClure three and two Mark Vital layups. The Bears pulled within five. But then Vital was called for a block on a play that was either a charge (likely) or a play-on. That foul was Vital’s fourth and sent him to the bench.
Gonzaga made another run after that.
