NCAA Tournament 2016: 12-seed Yale Sends Baylor to Another Crushing First Round Exit

The Ivy League Champions dominated most of the second half en route to dealing Baylor another shocking first round defeat in the NCAA Tournament.

Almost exactly a year ago, we were all standing shell-shocked after R.J. Hunter's buzzer-beater sent Baylor to a early exit in the NCAA Tournament We're in a familiar place today after Makai Mason (33 points) and the Yale Bulldogs sent the Bears home early once again, although the result isn't nearly so shocking to anyone that watched the game. Despite Charles Barkley's statement before the game that Baylor was "gonna kill these guys," the Ivy League Champions weren't the least bit intimidated, and actually became the aggressors for most of the second half, eventually running up a 13-point lead with 7 minutes to go that they salted away to earn the big victory.
