Gonzaga and Baylor were among the top teams in men’s college basketball all season long and the two schools will get to battle it out in the national championship on Monday night.

It’s a matchup months in the making. Gonzaga and Baylor were supposed to do battle on Dec. 5 when the Bulldogs were No. 1 and the Bears were No. 2. But Baylor had some coronavirus issues at the start of the season forcing them to cancel some games and later postpone others. Those issues are far behind Baylor and they will finally get a chance to take down the No. 1 team in the nation.

Gonzaga is looking to make history.
