Baylor 86, Gonzaga 70

[RockfordIllini]

So I believe Drew is on top of coach’s’ lists both of least liked and also most likely to be cheating.

which begs the question...do coaches dislike drew because he cheats Or because he’s a jerk?

 

[azillini1]

Only Suggs and Timme getting good shots for Zags down low. Zags, other than Suggs, play below the rim. Not like the athletes on Baylor.

 

[hoopsfan47]

Just tuning in... what would y’all attribute Gonzaga’s struggles to? Bad gameplan?

Hardly they simply have not seen elite defense, perimeter shooting, and speed with the ball at Baylor's level....IMHO.

 

[skyIdub]

Lmao @ shooting 55% and being down 15!

 

[IllinoisssssssVarsity]

Flo from Progressive vs. AT&T Lily....death cage match.

Who you got?

Death

 

[EyeoftheIllini]

The draft projections having him in the lottery baffle me

I could see him dropping some — though maybe not all the way out of lottery — based on this and his last few games as well as being a senior.

Would be bad to go undefeated until the last game and #1 all year and lose the last game of the season.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

Vital providing everything his team needs to close this thing out.

 

[JFGsCoffeeMug]

What was that?

 

[azillini1]

Put a fork in the Zags

 

[jordansbulls]

Baylor has basically double the rebounds the Zags have.

We were pretty darn close to that

Baylor it is

 

[RockfordIllini]

Can maybe take some solace that we weren’t the best team this year. If we played Baylor 10 times, I think we might win 3. Well earned.

Damn I didn't realize Drew has been at Baylor that long.

 

[Turpin & Tate in 2008!]

Flo from Progressive vs. AT&T Lily....death cage match.

Who you got?

Can we put Kim Kietz, investor, in the cage as well?

 

[AirNeezy]

I don't know if I'm ready to live in a world where Baylor has a Basketball National Title and Illinois doesn't...

 

[JustPassing]

This is the definition of thumping

 

[jordansbulls]

We were pretty darn close to that

Yeah but at least we lost to a storied franchise that had at least the GOAT who had played for that Franchise in the past.

They got it in Women's to. Also Florida won it in 2006 and 2007.

 

[FollowMeDontFollowMe]

Surprised to see timme with only 7 shots in 33 minutes AND Baylor bigs with 12 fouls between the 3 “centers”.

 

[frozenrope9190]

Baylor defeats Gonzaga.
Gonzaga defeats UCLA
UCLA defeats Michigan
Michigan defeats Florida State
Florida State defeats Colorado
Colorado defeats Georgetown.

The 2021 NCAA Turkey of the Tourney is... The Georgetown Hoyas.

Congratulations.

Baylor 86

I think Timme will be neutralized this game (Vital and Tchatchoua factor). I think Baylor contains Kispert's 3's. The matchups just seem to favor Baylor slightly. I look for Mitchell and Mayer (darkhorse) each to have a big game. Hopefully, the refs will "let them play" and not ruin the game flow.

Lastly, I think this will be a fast-paced, entertaining game. One where we will find out really if "defense wins championships".

I was close!

 

[azillini1]

Can't see Kispert going in the draft before Ayo.
