Zags/Baylor Predictions?

[John Kelly]

HALFTIME NUMBERS: Gonzaga -6 and 85.

 

[John Kelly]

Baylor has a toughness edge.

Gonzaga is a finesse team.

 

[John Kelly]

Gonzaga, in effect, played Baylor even after the quick 11-1 start by the Bears.

 

[John Kelly]

Baylor was up 19 at one point.

Current lead is only 10.

A fantastic finish could be in store.

 

[raycabino]

That should be close enough for the Bears not to do anything stupid like try and slow it down.

You mean like they did the last 8 minutes of the 1st half? wtf were they thinking?

 

[John Kelly]

Baylor shooting lights out. Zags pathetic zone has helped Baylor...so many easy shots. 13 to 2 FT attempts for the Zags and it wouldn't surprise me to see that disparity in the 2nd half again. Suggs easily the best player on the court and can do whatever he wants, if he wants.

Baylor guards so underrated, not sure Zags have an answer for them on both ends

Time for Suggs to display his NBA talent.

 

[choslamshe]

Hate it, but very very small on Baylor +6. Most of me wants to see Gonzaga come back to win it at the buzzer.

The only other adversity Zags have had this year other than their last game was a 12 point deficit to BYU earlier in the season. Baylor far better than both those teams, as incredible that UCLA played.

 

[Heim]

The refs have taken a little steam out of Baylor defense. They started calling it a little tighter L10.

 

[IWishIWasAPro]

Tchatcboua already has 3 fouls. Baylor is going to be stuck with Mayer the rest of the game once him, Thamba foul out. Vital is only 6 5" too.

Baylor isn't winning this game because of the fouls.

 

[NowshesmyRuca]

You mean like they did the last 8 minutes of the 1st half? wtf were they thinking?

It pained me every time they were walking up the court. Why are doing anything different than what got you there?

 

[John Kelly]

Baylor with 38 shot attempts in the first half to Gonzaga's 22.

The Zags did attempt 13 foul shots to Baylor's two.

 

[cheapseats]

Zags standing around more than Bears.

 

[John Kelly]

Zags standing around more than Bears.

No doubt.

The sense of urgency needs to come now for the Zags.

Don't wait until the five-minute mark to go all-out.

 

[John Kelly]

Current score: Baylor 67 Gonzaga 51 with 12:54 left in the second half.

LIVE WAGERING: Baylor -10.5 and 175.5.

 

[railbird]

kenpom ahead of the curve on the result

 

[choslamshe]

This defense by Gonzaga is one of the most pathetic efforts I've seen recently.

 

[cheapseats]

3pt game

 

[IWishIWasAPro]

You're going to tell me overtime and the game against UCLA took that much out of them where they absolutely can't play defense tonight?

A BS narrative by nantz

 

[railbird]

Kudos to both teams for lack of tattoos

 

[railbird]

Zags a little bit like loy chi with soft schedule. there schedule was an overrated defenseless iowa team, a no guards no deptth usc team, the worst SMC team in 10 yrs, a unathletic byu team.. Who were they to be 14 over red hot ucla. some moron on espn was saying zags would beat ucla 10 out of 10. Zags average on D end. the team that loss to no car via vern harris was a better team, people focus too much on records. #besteverNOT

 

[railbird]

Over under on God refrences by Baylor post game? 2.5

 

[IWishIWasAPro]

or it can be as simple as Suggs picking up an early 2 fouls and Baylor never looking back?

 

[NowshesmyRuca]

I'm getting a weird feeling that the over might be in trouble.

 

[Heim]

Suggs game reminds me a lot of Grant Hill at Duke.

 

[IWishIWasAPro]

I'm getting a weird feeling that the over might be in trouble.

Wow. You might be right.

 

[John Kelly]

I'm getting a weird feeling that the over might be in trouble.

Live total now 161.5.

Scoring slowed considerably over the past couple of minutes.

There's 3:18 left on the clock.

But remember, there's a possible 30-second dribble out by Baylor coming at the end.

 

[John Kelly]

Suggs game reminds me a lot of Grant Hill at Duke.

Smaller than Grant Hill though.

I like it.

 

[John Kelly]

Over under on God refrences by Baylor post game? 2.5

OVER for the limit.

 

[John Kelly]

Turns out, Few v Drew was a mismatch tonight.

The Zags had no answers for the Bears.

Few was outfoxed by Cronin in the semis too.

 

[IWishIWasAPro]

Can't believe this one stayed under.

 

[John Kelly]

Final score: Baylor 86 Gonzaga 70.

Gonzaga's bid for perfection falls short.

Baylor led 9-0 early and never looked back.

 

[John Kelly]

Can't believe this one stayed under.

Total died on the vine.

 

[NowshesmyRuca]

I took in game Under 172 when it started looking like it was going to be a dead last 5.

 

[Heim]

Covid protocol interruption probably keeps this team as being recognized as one of the best ever. Deep bench, exceptional trifecta shooting...and that defense. Too bad.

 

[IWishIWasAPro]

We are going to deal with this again next season. Debating about how good Gonzaga is if Chet Holmgren goes there.

who is the judge? if it wasnt a Christian school in Waco. they would be. the leftist media and espn hates baylor. Cal protested Baylor going to pac 12 a few years ago

You're a symbol of the worst in America.

 

[Heim]

Baylor was behind for a total of 69 seconds in the tournament....

 

[Ray Luca]

Thought the 2nd half line of Zags -6 -120 was ridiculous.
