The Gonzaga Bulldogs have had a rough night so far against the Baylor Bears. On the biggest stage of college basketball, the stifling defense of the Bears has been neutralizing the offense of the Bulldogs. However, as the game has been wearing on, Gonzaga seems to be gaining more momentum.
The Bears led by over 15-points at a point in the first half and looked destined to beat the Bulldogs down further. However, the Bulldogs managed to reconnect on offense and have been slowly whittling the lead down. The game is 47-37 heading into the second half of the game, but that is because of a buzzer-beating layup by Drew Timme.

The Bears are definitely still in control of this game. The Bulldogs aren’t playing their own game as much as they are playing into what Baylor is giving them.

The Bulldogs look to become undefeated champions, while Baylor can get a title with just one loss all season. Either way, the basketball world will have first-time champions.
