Final Four Score:
Baylor’s best basketball season in program history will end with an appearance in the national championship game. The top-seeded Bears secured their spot at the table in stunning fashion as they boat raced No. 2 seed Houston 78-59 in Saturday’s Final Four.
Officially, the game ended at 6:15 p.m. ET. But unofficially, this one was over at halftime. Houston faced its largest deficit of the season at half when Baylor led 45-20. The Cougars never got within 16 points thereafter.
It’s no surprise given what Baylor has done all postseason that its magical run will end in a top-2 finish this season. It marked their fifth consecutive double-digit win to advance to the national title game for the first time since 1948.

Prediction:
The Houston Cagars may reach the national championship game for the third time in program history when they land on a boiler beer in the 2021 Final Four matchup at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis on Saturday. Houston made back-to-back championship games in 1983 and ’84 until the end of the Phi Slama Jama era. But the team famously lost to Jim Valvano and NC State in a ’83 game on a buzzer-banging sting and an ’84 contest for Patrick Ewing and Georgetown. The Cougars (28-3) will face the Boilers (26-2) on Saturday
