The game was decided in the first 5 minutes. Baylor dominated for 40 minutes.
No doubt....when you get down 9-0 off the bat, your opponent has more offensive boards than you do total at the half, and you never smell a lead the entire game.....yeah, it's a wrap.
Glad Gonzaga lost after seeing Timme’s dumb celebrations all tourney long.
I agree 100%. Btw, what was the commentator talking about lingerie and janitor at the end of the game??
Yelp withing first 5 minutes with refs help.
@@lilpenny1982 It was obviously just an expression about the Gonzaga player getting crossed up and left in the dust by the Baylor player. That announcer has used that one before, if you ever watch college basketball.
gonzaga: we have a high scoring offense
Baylor: we lift with the football team
Facts
lol yeah Gonzaga got OWNED!
Baylor play like big boys --- Gonzaga bought into their own hype
They played Bully Ball 🏀!!
They definitely played bully ball.. that defense was crazyyyy
It looked like Baylor had 4 James Hardens 😂😂😂
Oh lawwwd😁
Frl
😂😂😂😂
LOL!!!
SO TRUE
One thing about these highlights is it doesn’t show you how dominant Baylor’s defense was!
Dude the score showed i am amazed by that defense
Fr das why i had2 go watch back the full game replay
The 2021 Baylor Bears were one of the greatest college basketball teams of all time. The rare college team that was elite on both offense and defense.
21 Baylor joins UTEP as the only two schools from Texas that have ever won the NCAA basketball title.
Man that lethal 3 guard line up was fire
@@creydadj facts
@@Damianoutlaw I though Houston won one?
From a championship to getting eliminated second round by an 8 seed, UNC.
Everyone will say *"Gonzaga was gassed, UCLA took it out of them"* Nah, Baylor just showed them what a superior defense and hustle can do.
Plus Gonzaga has no inside presence. You can go straight to the whole. Baylor was just to athletic for them
Would of loved to have seen these two played back in January...Zags smoked Kansas Jayhawks first game of season..Kansas beat Baylor prior to Big 12 Tournament
I was honestly expecting Baylor to take it. Their wins on their side were so clean. I am rather disappointed on Gonzaga. This is an awful game.
Baylor was the only team in the country with a defense good enough to slow down Gonzaga’s all time great offense. Coming from a Zag fan Baylor earned this win. Baylor honestly has the best defense that any college basketball team has had in the last decade
@@jimdavis3895 Baylor beat Kansas before covid pause .. they literally had a month break after the pause and had to play like 6 games in two weeks without practice
Baylor came to play!!!
Triangle formation wins championships.
I'm already hype for the Fans video from it. Love your content!
Still a good run by Gonzaga, even if it came up short.
@@jakesmith6233 What are you talking about they were down by 15 a whole game
Always does!
Gonzaga wins every regular season game by 20 points. Then they get into the tournament and start playing real teams. Games get closer, and they eventually lose. Happens every time. Baylor was just insane though, so much talent.
This is what I was thinking. It's hard to simulate playing a team like Baylor. They try to schedule good out of conference teams and recruit very well but at the end of the day these big conference schools have twice the level of competition in conference.
UCLA exposed the Zags. It should have been a Baylor/UCLA Title game. If it was we would have seen a MUCH Better title game. Baylor would have been to much for UCLA in the end. But UCLA are a well coached team playing much better teams in the regular season. Baylor are just another monster altogether. I'm glad they won. Makes my Villanova loss more bearable seeing they lost to the eventual Champions!
I agree Chokezaga just didnt have the athleticism to match Baylor they do win all these regular season games by 20 then when they play real teams they get smoked them beating UCLA was a fluke UCLA would have been the better match up honestly
Zags are not good once they start playing REAL competition
Because they're trash. The media hypes them so much as the "golden team". Glad to see them get destroyed by real talent.
Mitchell rocked dude first play 😂😂😂🐐
Who are you
That started the onslaught of crossovers by Baylor’s guards they was all cooking 😂 🤣

When I saw Baylor put the clamps on Houston, I knew that either UCLA or Gonzaga was going to be in trouble.
That kind of defense takes serious effort and energy.

Nobody saw this mismatch coming. We would’ve seen it back in December but this was a perfect set up for Baylor.
I think a lot of it was that tough game Gonzaga had the other night against UCLA. Gonzaga looked tired halfway through the first half. Baylor had a cake walk that day, and their game was over hours earlier.
@@clintonearlwalker not an excuse
@@joshuacrawley1433 Not trying to make excuses, just stating a fact.
@@clintonearlwalker that’s also on Gonzaga though. It should have been a cakewalk against UCLA, they literally had to slow down just one player and couldn’t. Baylor had a tougher team in Houston.
Baylor showed who the true number 1 team in the country was tonight...congrats Baylor on your first championship, y’all deserve it.
It's like what they say in a one shining moment
Wow, I feel so awful for your team. I really thought they were going to go unbeaten and become the third team to do this since UNC in 1957 and Indiana in 1976.
@@brandonmorris92 I was rooting for Gonzaga. :(
No disrespect, Gonzaga is talented but has too many unathletic white dudes on the team theirs no way they could compete with Baylor
Racist
I noticed the lack of racial diversity on Baylor. Clearly they need to put more Asians, whites, and Mexicans on the team for diversity.

I know Gonzaga’s gonna have PTSD of this game for the rest of their lives. 😂
And every other final/ final four they’ve lost in. It’s like they’re cursed, not taking away from Baylor’s dominance though absolutely deserved.
@@mordecaismopstick they’ve never lost a final 4 but true they always find a way to disappoint

Catch and shoot 3s.

The announcer stating that "Gonzaga is asleep defensively" during the game was spot on. The Big 12 has a National Champion___Congrats to Baylor
@Craig Carson Third? The Big 12 has sent Kansas, Baylor, Texas Tech, OU, & Ok State. Kansas should be the 2020 champs and TT gave away that 2019 NC game.

Gonzaga wasn’t asleep they were over matched!
The defensive pressure that Baylor applied one on one decided the game.
When Gonzaga went zone in the first half I knew they weren’t coming back!
Going zone asserts that you can’t guard anyone man to man.... and you’re hoping they start missing open shots and it never happened!
9:08 He really broke the other dudes ankles that wasn’t even guarding him. 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

Did the announcer say, "get the lingerie on the deck, call the janitor"? What does that even mean?
@@squashitsplatit IKR?

Baylor did all the little things right. They came out high intensity. Cleaned the glass, ran the floor, hit their shots, and talked a lot of smack. They pretty much intimidated Gonzaga right out of the gate. Thanks for winning me my bracket 🐻
Most boring and easy title in the history of the ncaa tournament
Baylor never trailed. From start to finish I could not keep my eyes away from watching them

In my opinion zags was bailed out all year and hyped up in reg season with weak schedule and even path to finals was easy with weak opponents but in final game it all comes to light

@@carsonc29 they played w virgina kansas and iowa all teams who were mediocre at best this year when they played baylor the was bailed out in december n got cancelled... And they went to they conference games which we all know is a mid major conference ..and no its not their fault im just saying they got lucky and bailed out it was alot of mediocre teams they was hyped up along with them being apart of it
What a game by Baylor. When you out rebound a team by 16, you put yourself in control of the game and Baylor never let go of that control
Tell that to my Tarheels.
And the refs handicapped you withing the first 5 minutes. Baylor s good at shooting 3s but average pasers.
Nah those goofy Zags always foil
@@tonycampbell4982 sound crazy their passes are above average
@@drebell15 i was defensivs player in my state vack many years ago i could in my youth guard the baylor guards easy one on one. The big men they have off the bench is what keeps them a rotation nightmare for any team.
I’m a Kansas fan and I’m glad Scott Drew got one (National Title). He’s an awesome dude and had an awesome team this past year. Glad to see a fellow conference opponent win a title for the entire conference. To all Baylor fans, congrats on a GREAT season and your going to have fun watching the NBA Draft this year, seeing where your (former) players land. Davion Mitchell is a lottery pick if you ask me... There’s no conference out there as tough and grueling as the Big 12 and those who would mention the ACC or Big 10.... there’s no Conference like the Big 12 where you get to play home AND away against EVERY team in the conference. Facts!!!
Well well well I got some news for you here in two thousand twenty two 😄😄
a complete masterpiece on all levels, true definition of TEAM basketball. 200%
These boys held Houston to 20 first half points and when I saw the Moneyline was +175! I knew that was easy money....
Totally agree! Easiest money I've ever made
haha me too! EZ PZ MONIES!!!!!!
@Williford Bustin im so glad i didnt just listen to the media. because i 100% undoubtedly wouldve bet on zags
yessir ya boi is $300 richer now, everyone overhyped zaga so much
After I saw what they did to Houston, it was a pretty easy decision
Zags struggled against ucla and should of lost while baylor dominated a great Houston team i knew baylor was going to thrash them
Same. It's honestly so funny that literally anyone thought the Zags had a chance in this game. Embarrassing.
The Zags celebrated way too early.
@Craig Carson They’re overrated. They play in an easy division with no real challenge. They collapse when they face real pressure as the last two games proved. They felt entitled to it, they bought into their own hype, and they deserved to lose. Sorry you’re so mad bro.
@Jay Theboss in 99 i believed my blue devils were the best team in the tournament and to a point they were but on paper uconn was the better team duke would go on to win a year later
That’s what happens when you finally play an actual team
Baylor must've watch film on how Gonzaga's Defense got exposed against UCLA. Congrats to the Baylor Bears!
Or they were just a better team....
Gonzaga plays no defense. The get lucky on defense from time to time.
@James , regardless Baylor was still the better team so they both were right.
Really I think zaga should move to pac 12 in basketball it's pitiful the way zaga was punked
There is a famous character, a Google search for "alts vong singnals". He made a fortune for himself back in 2018. Recently, such services have appeared that allow copying the results of professional players. This guy shows how to copy after him automatically using such a service. We must try while the market is on the rise.!
It's unreal!
Kansas Jayhawks & Baylor Bears LITERALLY both had their redemptions after 2020 NCAA Tournament was cancelled.
Because they were by a decent margin the 2 best teams in country March 2020.
Talk about dominance, Baylor won every single game this whole tournament by double digits except for one. They "only" won by 9 against Arkansas. All this hype around Gonzaga, yall realized Baylor was 17-0 before they went on a 3 week pause due to covid? And they played in a tougher conference. I've been saying it all year, Baylor is nasty.
Gonzaga is all hype and no substance. when it matters they always lose
But hey at last their first loss was to my Jayhawks woo! The way they played in that game vs the Championship was night and day difference
Move Gonzaga to like the pac 12 playing that schedule would help them out so much being a 1 seed is easy for them since they face no one but as soon as they face well run programs they can struggle
Won't happen because they don't have a football program.
@Craig Carson Good, then their relative cakewalks in the WCC can come to an end. Let them start from the get-go with programs on their level. Being in the WCC has always given them an advantage many other programs don't have in highly competitive conferences.
CONGRATULATIONS 2021 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS BAYLOR BEARS BASKETBALL "TEAM," their coach Scott Drew, Assistant coaches & Baylor Nation! I was impressed by Baylor's talent, coaching & "PRECISION of Execution." Baylor played well as a TEAM the entire season & tonight's game showcased the TEAM's "cohesive precision" & domination from tip-off to the W. And THAT precision starts at the top, so again, congrats Scott & Baylor's assistant coaches! Congrats as well for Gonzaga's 31-1 year! SIC 'EM BEARS!
I had Baylor winning it! So happy!
Congrats Baylor!
Congrats Gonzaga!

“Aaand One! Let’s Go!! He can’t cover me!!” - Davion Mitchell
Narrator - The defender in fact could not cover Mitchell.
Baylor had All 3 Guards that are Agile, Explosive, Quick off the dribble that can create there own shot and get to the rim at will. Gonzaga struggled with containing or slowing them down.
Everyone after Saturday:
"UCLA vs Gonzaga was the real national championship."
"Gonzaga is undefeated. It's their time."
"32-0"
Baylor:
"Prepare to die."
Repeat 1979
Now what do you say??? How bout Baylor's D
And that's why the game is played...comments n stats really don't matter...
Everybody talked about Gonzaga but nobody they beat in the regular season made the sweet 16, this Baylor team was historically great and was the superior team throughout the entire game
both teams are still historically good but baylor clearly better...would’ve gone unbeaten if no covid pause
Exactly Baylor would of went undefeated without covid pause
This is what happens when you play a real hard core team ie. Baylor!
Baylor really exposed Gonzaga and caused them so many turnovers. Crazy they are so tough
too athletic and quick 4 the Zags.
The way Baylor ran thru the field I Don't even think Zaga got exposed tbh...This was just Baylor being Baylor, you simply can't prepare for that type of depth and experience....
Rather, Gonzaga got exposed in the Final 4 game against UCLA, getting all they could handle from an eleven seed that barely made the tournament. Baylor played a perfect championship game defensively, effort wise, and while shooting lights out. Baylor would have bested anyone with that performance.
@@richardw3347 True story

Game was over by the first TV timeout. Domination on the biggest stage!
Baylor came out in beast mode --- I could see the fear in Zags eyes from the opening tipoff

Final Four is more exciting!
@@finnmckentyslanderaccount409 sometimes it just ends up that way but not every year... you have to play all of them
@@finnmckentyslanderaccount409 no it shouldn’t have because that wouldn’t have been fair to the best team ”Baylor”. Baylor are just head and shoulders above everybody.

But Baylor should’ve been undefeated as well and they played in a way harder conference.
@Jay Theboss i didn't say what mattered 😂
Zag fan almost all my life. That was embarrassing. 4+ players on Baylor's team are NBA level. Hats off to Baylor. What a team. aye
Reminds me of 2008 KU, 2009 North Carolina, 2012 Kentucky, and 2018 Villanova. Teams you saw that were dominant year round, but you knew they were about to thoroughly dominate in the NCAA tournament. Although 2012 Kentucky and 2008 KU were the most dominant teams in the last 20 years that I've personally seen. For KU to beat Memphis's Derrick Rose and the dominant AF 2008 North Carolina to win the National title is amazing. 2012 Kentucky just wasnt fair, so good defensively that they didnt need shooters, that was their weakness. 2012 Kentucky had what 4 players go top 20 in the draft the following year? Baylor probably 5th behind 2018 Villanova.
Every year Zsgs ranked no1 they have a cupcake schedule from the middle the end of season just not ready4 intense quality teams this year the same when will they learn Aruzina the same thing
Great night for Baylor. Zags started sluggishly and they did not recover. Blowout!
2021 turned out to be a Bear market in the NCAA Basketball tournament. I wanted Gonzaga to win but I commend Baylor for playing so well in the title game. CONGRATS!
I agree. I ahave some awesoem vids too!
They played better than well...they owned the so called best team in the Ncaa
Zags couldn't handle the dribbling ability of Baylor and were on skates the entire night.
I'm so glad Gonzaga lost they play in a trash conference against trash competition and get a easy path to the NCAA tournament every season.
Oh I'm so glad that Gonzaga lost not only did they lose they got demolished. Hay Mark few remember late in the USC game when you were up by 30 with like 3 minutes ago and you still had your starters in running up the score? how does it taste now.
I Can't believe people really thought this team was some unbeatable Juggernaut. They were only were undefeated because they play in a garbage competition in the WCC. I'm surprised they even made it to the title game this team is not athletic at all and their slow.
Gonzaga will never win a national championship and beating up on Pepperdine, LMU, Portland, Pacific, St Mary's, San Francisco, San Diego and any other trash teams in that conference doesn't mean anything.
Call the janitor. Coz if fkn slippery out there 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Them Baylor boys shoot their lights out from start to finish. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Baylor came to play! Baylor came to win ! They played as if it were the last game of their life...
Reality check: playing in an easy conference doesn’t prepare you for big games like this. Baylor had tough competition the whole year in the big-12 and when the moment came they were ready to capture. Gonzaga expected an easy game because most games they played this season were easy. They look unprepared and out of sorts on defense.
That's why EVERY YEAR they have an awesome regular season but always lose during march
Congrats to the Baylor Bears on their first National championship, dominated from start to finish on both sides. I’m so happy for scott drew, he has established them as a true basketball force to be reckoned with. Mitchell and Butler future stars, Mitchell absolutely deserved DPOY. and the rest of their role players like Mayer the mullet, Vitale, Teague and T.T balled out. this has been one of my favorite college teams Ive ever watched.
In the last three games, baylor trailed by a total of 1 minute 9 seconds....
@A D you know who else loves regular show?
My favorite all-time college basketball team to watch
@@mordecaismopstick my mom
They took the natty in 1948, this their second, and yes
Gonzaga got exposed badly
This year's current Zags team made one major adjustment: They hit the weight room. This Baylor team was just too strong for them. Plus they had two 23=year-olds on the team, including Mark Vital, who also plays football. No excuses though, Baylor was overall the superior team.
And? 🤣
7:31 is my favorite sequence. Mark Vital gets the block on Corey Kispert driving to the net. Baylor goes on a fast break, Adam Flagler gets open an drains a 3.
Baylor student here. That’s when every student knew we were going to win. I watch these highlights just for that sequence
Baylor shows that if you play together as a team and play hard , and d-up, you can get somewhere as a team (National champs)
Real talk
It’s not that simple tho. To play defense at baylor’s level, you need insanely fast reaction time and impeccable hand-eye coordination. Every team tries to play lockdown defense, they just can’t do it as consistently as Baylor
Exactly. And believe in your team
It was never close. At least it's not shockingly heartbreaking for Gonzaga since they saw it coming for hours lol.
lol yeah Gonzaga got OWNED!
Zags bought into their own hype --- that is the kiss of death
@@lukebuchwald9252 I don't think it was the hype as much as Baylor was just a much better team. Baylor had been putting up better numbers against better teams all tournament, but everyone was so focused on the Zags that it went unnoticed.
One of the best jump shooting teams I have ever seen
Baylor got real Serious they came to play basketball.
Gonzaga’s undefeated season could’ve ended way earlier if their game against Baylor in the preseason wasn’t canceled
Congratulations Baylor For winning the National Championship
Everyone had picked Gonzaga, but any of the Final Four deserved to win this year, and Baylor did it.
Good for them.
Yeah I know
Nothing makes me happier than the moment every year that Gonzaga (and their fans) are brought back down to Earth.

@@andrewnembhardenthusiast thats like rooting for the chargers
I was actually rooting for Baylor to win the tournament!
I’ll root for the Zags next year if that’s where Chet Holmgren commits to
Baylor did a great job of not allowing Gonzaga to get into any rhythm offensively and crashing the offensive boards. Congratulations to Scott Drew and his coaching staff for an outstanding game plan on both ends of the floor. They deserve it for the city of Waco
As a Zag fan I agree 100%. Baylor was truly the one team that could honestly beat the Zags even if the Zags were at their best. Tonight Baylor punched Gonzaga in the mouth early and the Zags seemed a bit fatigued and off because of that crazy UCLA game and never found a way to build momentum. Not that the UCLA game is an excuse you still got to show up for the national title game and Baylor played their best basketball and earned this win. Wish these teams could play a seven game series 😂
This Baylor teamed looked like those elite Villanova teams, when you have elite shooters who are tough and play defense, hard to stop
Never gets old seeing Gonzaga lose. Enjoy it every year.
Throw in Norte Dame and Wisconsin, the other media darlings
Yeah, but the absolute best that never gets old or dated is when CAROLINA LOSES!!!!!
Well deserved Baylor 👏🏼💚
Man all these Baylor cats are NBA ready right now, especially Butler
They’re bears.
I knew Baylor was gonna win the championship. Gonzaga always gets to the final four or the championship game and lose. They play in a weak conference so even though they have a good team, they don't play tough competition year round and they're not prepared to play the teams from the bigger conferences. They barely beat UCLA, so I predicted that they were gonna lose against Baylor.
Imagine they had ‘Mitchell’, ‘Teague’ and ‘Butler’
Gonzaga had no chance with them they to athletic. In a mid-range game is all that in the bag of chips. 😂
Been a Gonzaga fan for a long time. Hate to say it but I don't think they will ever win a championship out of the WCC. You can't spend 2 months blowing everyone out then come to the tournament and not get beat. Baylor played tough games in the Big 12 all year and were ready for tonight. Zags emptied the tank against UCLA and weren't.
The problem is where do they go? the West Coast has one P5 conference the PAC12 and the state there in already has two schools that are members and that comes with its own politics...Maybe go to the MWC where you can get better mid major comp esp SDSU that plays a similar physical competitive style you see in the tourney.....Zaga fans gonna have to keep being patient, at least you guys are now attracting legit top tier 4-5 star talent consistently and getting favorable seeds....This years team was very good but the depth and size was suspect and it showed in both games, that '15 and '17 team where better imo....
@@kgthoughts I'm pretty heart broken about it. I've been watching the zags since I was a little girl and I live in spokane. I have so much love in my heart for them. Seeing your comment is encouraging and I hope they slay in the upcoming years :)
@@kgthoughts The Pac 12 or MWC is where I always thought they should go. I understand why they don't do it though and I also understand that the WCC doesn't want to lose them. But if they can't get that experience of playing from behind and having to compete hard for a full 40 minutes then they're always gonna have a hard time finishing in the tournament. Teams like Baylor play multiple tough games every week all season and are ready for it. It's a bummer because Few is such a good coach and they play such good fundamental basketball compared to the other top teams that experience I feel like is all they need.
I agree. Gonzaga had played a couple of tough teams early on and beat them, but after that when it came to conference play they got comfortable. Baylor had a challenge every night in the Big 12 where they had to be on their A game every night. Zags wasn’t use to that kind of intensity Baylor brings every game. Baylor was the better team.
@Craig Carson player recruitment means nothing when they're used to playing weak competition all year.
Dear Zags,
You play in a cupcake conference that is the WCC. Your non-conference wins were, more or less, not that remarkable if we take into consideration how the teams you defeated have faltered this season.
Though the Big 12 isn't a powerhouse in basketball, Baylor does have elite talent and then some. Elite defense. Great perimeter shooting. Speed and athleticism. This was displayed tonight and you weren't use to such things.
Let's face it, your perfect conference record wouldn't have been perfect if you played in a P5 (same thing with Baylor, but as I said they have elite talent on both offense and defense).
From,
A college basketball fan who knew you were overrated since the beginning of the season.
Cry for me, Adam Morrison. Cry. Timme can join you.
the difference between great college players and NBA ready players playing college ball is shown right here
Baylor were raining 3s like they were at Dave & Busters.
Good job now hey ZAG Nation we have 31 wins and 1 loss 🤦♂️ 😂😅🤣 HAHA!
Congrats to the 2021 Men's College Basketball Champion

Baylor was outstanding. The men and women's basketball teams have been something really special recently.
This was no upset. Clearly the better team won. UCLA did some psychological damage to the Zags. I think most of us knew Baylor would win this game.

During the halftime show the commentators were saying how Baylor was in trouble because they were only up 10 points. Lol
Lol, they saw their pre-game predictions slipping away and were *hoping* desperately that Baylor was actually in trouble so they wouldn't have to eat crow. Ha ha, too bad for them.
Facts how are you in so called trouble up 10...
From a Michigan Wolverines fan...Congrats Baylor!!! And also this tournament overall one of the best ever. Straight fire 🔥 🔥. So many upsets great stories and finishes. Great job NCAA pulling this off. Only thing i hated VCU not even getting an opportunity to participate. Otherwise amazing tournament!
GO BLUE!! And yes, this tourney MORE than made up the cancellation of last year's tourney
Ucla had a few upsets
I had a feeling something was off with Gonzaga after the UCLA game.
I mean UCLA just played well
same. gonzaga looked vulnerable and this game showed.
They probably got too cocky and thought that they had the game in the bag
GonZaga was overrated. UCLA and Baylor are good teams Zaga never played in the regular season.
@@zibbie17had absolutely nothing to do with Gonzaga being overrated! By saying that your selling Baylor's performance short and they deserved better than that! Nobody was gonna beat them that night at the level they we're playing, NOBODY!
One word. "PRESSURE".
And two more shut down
@@Qaulim Yes but I think the pressure of having a perfect season hit them hard
Adam Morrison
Bust Pipes bro facts
Refs tried to help zaga with all those no calls 😭
Facts like the UCLA game 🥶
Naw there were plenty of crummy calls in Baylor's favor
Yes, the refs were trying help Gonzaga. And also the announcers on CBS.
@@AlexanderCampbellProfessorAlex lol Gonzaga got OWNED!
Connor, the refs played absolutely no part or had one ounce of influence on that game! It would have been a Baylor beat down regardless! Gonzaga never had a chance with the level Baylor was playing at, plain and simple
Gonzaga: We deserve respect and recognition as one of the premier basketball programs in the country!
Also Gonzaga: 0-2 in championship games
Coach K went to 4 final fours and 2 national championships before winning it all. Gonzaga’s era is just beginning
@@dawsongilbert968 Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
This was such a disappointing championship game, I expected something close
Not suprise baylor was hot and playing amazing team ball and great defense. Train the whole time.
It was the UCLA game
Congratulations from this UTEP Miner alum. We staked and defended that claim for years of being the only Texas team to have a Natty. It was ours and it was special. We loved our coach and our team. Baylor, you were outstanding. Now there are two of us. Tonight, Baylor, though, this is your night. Tip of the hat from West Texas....God bless 🙏 everyone and please be safe
Bringing the trophy back for all of Texas to celebrate!
Glad to join fellow Texans with this!
As a fellow UTEP alum, I dream of what could have been had Gary Payton had come to UTEP. He wanted to be a Miner, but Haskins passed on him. They could have made a Final Four in the early 90s with Hardaway and The Glove in the backcourt.
I am SOOO watching Glory Road this weekend!
@@michaelnewton1332 Michael...I never knew that......incredible
GONZAGA OVERRATED
If I am a NBA GM any 1 of the 3 Baylor Guards I'm drafting in the 1st Round.
One of the greatest teams of all time!!!! 2020-2021 Baylor Bears!!!!!! Congrats!!!!
Baylor was clearly more physically prepared. Sheesh. They bullied Zag on defense and rebounding. Baylor was clearly more physical.
Exactly
It’s not as simple as saying baylor were a more physical team tho. To play defense at baylor’s level, you need insanely fast reaction time and impeccable hand-eye coordination. Every team tries to play lockdown defense, they just can’t do it as consistently as Baylor
@@warrior4958 they practice it intensely.... had a coach that played there in high school. Had ALLLL the defensive drills and preached it like it was the word of god
Wish UCLA was in this game.
I knew baylor was going to have the lead the entire game. Baylor way too good, should’ve been UCLA vs Baylor.
Baylor woulda beat UCLA easily too.
@@TTundragrizzly I agree
@@unbiascowboy1537 It would have been closer though, ucla plays better defense on the perimeter and shoots the 3 better, gonzaga was more of an inside out team which didn't work against baylor
plus refs were really unfair against ucla and they had 4 of their starters on the bench for most of the first half when they could have pulled away with the game
@@troyzfn5649 yea it might’ve been closer. UCLA is definitely tougher then Gonzaga I’ll give you that.
He broke timmy ankle and he wasnt even guarding the guy
Congratulations Baylor Bears 🐻!!!!
👍
