By the time confetti dispensed from the rafters, every Baylor player took in the life-changing moment in their own way at center court. Davion Mitchell – the gritty backbone and defensive juggernaut of this team – FaceTimed and hugged the national championship trophy like a toddler with a teddy bear. All Big-12 guard MaCio Teague watched the One Shining Moment montage while sprawled on the confetti-covered floor, waiting for the finale. Spoiler alert: He stars in it.
Reserve Matthew Mayer, hat worn backwards over his signature mullet, danced with Most Outstanding Player Jared Butler, who soon after took a championship shirt and towel and shot-faked as if the game was still going and he d hit another barrage of dagger three-pointers.

Share this story

I’m an early to bed early to rise hoopaholic. The 9:20 tip time is frankly mighty close to when I usually hit the hay. I forget from year to year exactly when I should consume an energy boosting beverage, so that I’ll be alert the whole game, but be able to fall asleep after One Shining Moment?
Do I take one of the several green tea laced drinks in the fridge? A cup of joe? And, more important, how much and at what time?
