Gonzaga vs Baylor
- Thread starter TheSpecialSauce
- Start date
So wait. You’re telling me it was a good idea that they just played the season? And didn’t delay it and make it May madness?
It's early but I predicted Baylor would beat Gonzaga after watching them struggle against UCLA. Not surprised at all right now, Baylor leading by 15. Should have thrown some money on Baylor. My bad.
I started a poll after the UCLA game on who would win and I picked Baylor. Didn't realize TheSpecialSauce already posted a poll.
But yes I seem to be right on this.
He will forever be intertwined in Pitt basketball history... “send it in Jerome!”
Baylor just threw a haymaker and played about as good as they could. Zags were overwhelmed, but only being down 10 gives them a little momentum. First 4 minutes will tell the story.
I will take Baylor’s shooting from three and limited foul shots and you can have the Zags foul shooting this half.
Very impressed to see Gonzaga bounce back. Honestly didn’t think they’d be able to score against Baylor’s perimeter defense but doing a nice job in that 2nd 10:00.
Problem will be Gonzaga stopping Baylor.

Disappointed there's no drama in this one, but really impressed by Baylor's performance. We are light years from where they are it seems.
After Saturday, this has been a significant disappointment of a game. But you really have to give it up to Baylor who have played spectacularly.
It is true we are light years behind them but so are just about all other teams this year anyway.
Only Suggs was athletically comparable to Baylor's guards. Their guards were just quicker, bigger, and stronger. Baylor's inside players were stronger, could jump higher, and set screens more solidly. They are superior athletically to anyone they play, couple that with shooting like they have most of the year and especially tonight and you see they have no equal this year.
Under Wins - That’s what matters!
165 has been the highest total over the last 21 title games and most of the games have been in the 140-160 range. Keep this tidbit handy fellas.

Gonzaga would’ve lost 2-3 games in XII. Baylor would’ve went undefeated in XII had they not dealt with Covid issues for most of the year.
Baylor money line was the play. It’s as if the pundits didn’t realize that the best perimeter defense of all time would give Gonzaga fits.

I was sorry to see the Zags go down, but good job, Baylor. I have a soft spot for the rare undefeateds. When I was in HS, our boys' hoops team went undefeated in the regular season, made it to the WPIAL finals and lost, and reached the state semis and lost the western final to the same school. We finished 26-2. Our personal demon was Midland, the eventual state champions. They had lost a game in section play.
