Gonzaga returns to the NCAA national title game tonight for the first time since 2017 and the second time in school history.
After narrowly escaping the Final Four with a thrilling 93-90 overtime victory over UCLA, the Bulldogs' quest for the first unbeaten season in 45 years hangs in the balance on Monday night against Baylor.
Contrary to the last time Gonzaga played for a national title, the Bulldogs are the betting favorite.
Before head coach Mark Few took over the program in 1999, Gonzaga had only reached the NCAA tournament twice and made it as far as the Elite Eight once.
