INDIANAPOLIS - There was another team out there that was marching through the season undefeated, that looked unstoppable at times, that had all arrows pointing toward a national title.
COVID-19 put a halt to the undefeated dream. Nothing could stop Baylor from cutting down the nets.

The fresh-as-can-be Bears obliterated wobbly-legged Gonzagaâs march to its own undefeated season Monday night. It was an 86-70 runaway that brought this once-downtrodden programâs first national title back home to Waco, Texas.
