Perfect no more.

After a tournament in which they blew out several teams and played one of the greatest games of all time against 11-seed UCLA, the 1-seed Gonzaga Bulldogs saw their quest to become the first undefeated national champions since 1976 come to an inglorious end in an 86-70 loss at the hands of the 1-seed Baylor Bears on Monday night. Baylor started the game off on a 9-0 run and never looked back, raining 3-pointers on Gonzaga and smothering them defensively when it counted. This marks Baylor's first-ever NCAA men's tournament title.

The Bears' triumph and the Bulldogs' heartbreak sparked significant reaction on social media ... starting with notable Baylor alum Robert Griffin III.

BAYLOR NATION....
WE ARE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!!!!!#SicEm #NationalChampionship

A sad end to a remarkable season for Gonzaga. But from tip off to the final whistle this game was Baylor's. A dominant performance in all facets. They deserve the title.

Congrats to the Baylor Bears on their National Championship - and to the Gonzaga Bulldogs on a great season. After an unimaginable year, every team in the tournament proved what's possible with hard work and determination. You made your schools, communities, and country proud.

Baylor came out to prove a point tonight! Not just win, but to prove a point.. they get after it on defense and then offensively just too many options!
