Baylor Turns Expected Classic Into a Beatdown to Spoil Gonzaga's Chance at Perfection

INDIANAPOLIS — At the 11:45 mark of the second half of the national championship game, Baylor coach Scott Drew turned his head down and carefully wrote notes on a small piece of paper resting on his knee. The game progressed but he didn’t look up from his notes, which turned out to be offensive sets his team hadn’t run yet. As Drew wrote, he missed seeing Gonzaga big man Drew Timme pick up his fourth foul on a charge at the opposite end of the floor from the Baylor bench—one more example of the upset romp unfolding in Lucas Oil Stadium.
