The Gonzaga Bulldogs advanced to their fifth consecutive Sweet 16 in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament with a 83-71 victory over the ninth-seeded Baylor Bears today in Salt Lake City, UT.
The field of 68 teams has been selected for the 2019 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament and to little surprise, the Gonzaga Bulldogs received one of the four top seeds.
ESPN.com has reseeded the remaining field of 16 in the NCAA tournament and the good news for the Gonzaga Bulldogs is that they have jumped from a #4 to a three-seed.
The bad news?
The Gonzaga Bulldogs, looking to return to the championship game for the second year in a row, got all they could handle in their first round game against UNC-Greensboro in the West Region of the 2018 NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Gonzaga Bulldogs and Killian Tillie are on FIRE. The Zags shot 18-of-28 (64 percent), including 8-of-14 (57 percent) from 3-point range to beat the Dons 88-60.
In a game that got hard to watch for even the most invested fan due to a seemingly non-stop whistle-blowing fest, it was ultimately a MISSED call that may have sealed the Gonzaga Bulldogs fate in last night's loss to North Carolina.
In the end, the glass slipper was just a half-size too big for the Gonzaga Bulldogs as their shot at the shoool's first-ever National Championship in men's basketball fell short to top-seeded North Carolina, 71-65.
