SALT LAKE CITY — The Baylor men’s basketball team ran off the court in the Vivint Smart Home Arena following their 78-69 win over Syracuse Thursday night.
“We ain’t going home yet,” one player shouted as he entered the locker room. As soon as some teammates joined him inside, music began to blare. It could still be heard after the door was closed. And every time someone opened the door to go in, you could hear the players yelling and celebrating.
What wasn’t there to celebrate? The Bears, a nine-seed, had just beat eight-seeded Syracuse, a team everyone predicted would win.
