INDIANAPOLIS Throughout the 2020-21 men s college basketball season, the Gonzaga Bulldogs and Baylor Bears stood atop the rankings. Perhaps it s only fitting that the top-ranked programs will be playing for the national championship.
First, however, please pause for this Jalen Suggs-induced exclamation.
Thank you for your patience. Gonzaga reached the national title game because its All-American freshman hit a legendary shot. After UCLA s Johnny Juzang hit a game-tying layup with 3.3 seconds to play in overtime, Suggs banked in a 35-footer at the buzzer for a soon-to-be iconic 93-90 victory.
Baylor had a far less dramatic finish, building a 25-point halftime lead and smacking Houston 78-59. And after the regular-season showdown couldn t be played, the Bears will finally get their crack at the wire-to-wire No. 1 team.
