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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
a complete masterpiece on all levels, true definition of TEAM basketball. 200%
The announcer stating that "Gonzaga is asleep defensively" during the game was spot on. The Big 12 has a National Champion___Congrats to Baylor
right...now people can stop saying that all the BIG12 has is Kansas...this marked the 3rd different BIG12 team to play in the FF and the second one to play for the NC...
@@craigcarson9034 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.

@@craigcarson9034 Third team to play in a national champonship* Texas tech was in the finals 2 years ago
@@TulsaSooner1979 Oklahoma State's (as Oklahoma A&M) championships were back in the 40's when only 8 teams made the whole tourney, but you are right that the Big 12 has more than just Kansas, and was likely the overall 2nd deepest conference in the NCAA this year.
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.
It looked like Baylor had 4 James Hardens 😂😂😂
Oh lawwwd😁
Frl
😂😂😂😂
LOL!!!
SO TRUE
9:08 He really broke the other dudes ankles that wasn’t even guarding him. 😂😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

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.
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.
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 😄😄
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
Man baylor got some snipers on them😳😳😳
Real talk

Baylor should have some guys returning next year too. Adam Flagler will have a bigger role and he can really shoot it.
Catch and shoot 3s.
@@gaddyify na they have shot creators also. Lol multiple shot creators
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.
Them Baylor boys shoot their lights out from start to finish. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
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!
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
they need to listen to the song unwritten by natasha bedingfield. takes off that PTSD vibe in you
Suggs had the most PTSD
morrison recovered especially when zags beat ucla in the final 4
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 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.
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 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

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
One of the best teams ever
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
9:10 Mitchell breaks Timme's ankles and Timme isn't even guarding him. Mitchell is incredible.
Lol facts

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!!!!!
This Baylor teamed looked like those elite Villanova teams, when you have elite shooters who are tough and play defense, hard to stop
Offense sells tickets, Defense wins games

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
hats off to baylor ez clap

Butler had his game face on the entire game. His face said beast mode the entire game and he brought it. Glad to see my bears suceed! Sic’em!!

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....
Regular show is one of my favorite shows ever 😂

Congratulations Baylor Bears 🐻!!!! 👍
Baylor showed who the true number 1 team in the country was tonight...congrats Baylor on your first championship, y’all deserve it.

HEY man are "YOU" ok over "THERE" ? ? !
Did anyone actually read this comment section?
Gonzaga’s undefeated season could’ve ended way earlier if their game against Baylor in the preseason wasn’t canceled
This years 2021 NBA Draft Class gonna be one of the deepest of all time. I see future All Stars in the making.
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
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
i don't think Gonzaga played bad. Baylor was just REALLY good. They looked like an nba team to me, just so good and unstoppable.

Baylor was just the better team.
5:37 Baylor: 50 points 5:41 Baylor: 47 points Hi KZhead
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
One of the best jump shooting teams I have ever seen
That guard play for Baylor was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Jared , Davion, and Teague are all pros!!!
Technically Mark Vital is a pro too -- in the NFL
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 😂
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 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@pp3k3jamail You sound like you're trying to recite a poem while trash-talking the other team. Grow up, they're all talented. No one makes it to the final game if they are "trash".
@@pp3k3jamail bruhh, you really got it out for the Zags. Sorry but Gonzaga is a phenomenal team. Yes the conference is a bit weak, but they had an unbelievable year and still beat some great teams along the way. Baylor was simply the better team. Gonzaga never adjusted and I think they could have done better. You must be a Pepperdine or San Francisco fan lol jk.
@@djbuenaventura4649 😁
This is the best guard play I’ve ever seen
Baylor came to play! Baylor came to win ! They played as if it were the last game of their life...
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.
if you put the ZAGS in the PAC they will own that conference...they do recruit well..they'd probably recruit even better if they were in a power 5
@@craigcarson9034 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.

Ayyyyo..PAUSE!
This Baylor team is up there with '09 North Carolina and '18 Villanova as the only national champions I have seen who swept through the NCAA tournament without ever being in any danger of losing any of the 6 games. Very quietly one of the most dominant championship runs.
This Baylor team was the best team I seen in a long time and I think it will be overshadowed because of the Gonzaga hype. What everybody thought Gonzaga was, it was Baylor all along.
@@unbiascowboy1537 I think they could have gone undefeated (against a MUCH tougher schedule than Zaga had) if not for the 3-week downtime they had when COVID interrupted their season in February.

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.

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.

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...
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
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!

@@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 word. "PRESSURE".
And two more shut down
@@qaulim Yes but I think the pressure of having a perfect season hit them hard

Baylor just played at a whole other level than Gonzaga. The Zags really could have used that scheduled contest against Baylor in the regular season that was cancelled to determine how good the Bears are.
Baylor did a great job. They honoured and came to play. You could see the energy the played with vs Houston. All the announcers picked Gonzaga to win. When the games was over I believe then didn't go back to the announcers it was funny. I remember Magic Johnson was playing undefeated indiana State had not lose. It is a blessing for God to bless them. The coach talk about being blessed. I am happy for them. If God is for u who can be against u. Romans 8.31
Way to go Bears. I think many people forgot how well BU was playing prior to the COVID shutdown.
Exactlyyyyy....
Kansas had everything clicking prior to Shut down last year..many feel KU would of took title last year had Covid not canceled Tournament.
yeah, Baylor won Big 12 this year easily usually they end up getting beat up by KU
Your exactly right Peter, and it was along with Kansas and Dayton who we're also extremely scary pre tournament shutdown in 2020! Obi Toppin was an absolute monster! I would have loved to have seen what Dayton could have done
