Baylor 86, Gonzaga 70

CBS is horrible with these commercials. They got a great deal off of the NCAA because the NCAA is incompetent.

ESPN did a good job with the women’s game did not destroy the flow.

I understand money is involved but it is so annoying. It was the same way in the Loyola game

Didn't think this game would be over in the first 8 minutes, but this looks like a mismatch. Baylor making Gonzaga look slow. With how good Baylor plays defense, I doubt the Zags can make up 15 points

Shades of our game against Loyola. Baylor knows the Zags love to score in transition, but they're effectively shutting that down. Zags not able to play to their strengths.

We are in trivial pursuit territory. What is the largest deficit ever overcome in the championship game?

We would be crushed by this Baylor team that showed up today. I don't see how we could keep up even on our best day.

Told my wife before the game that I would like to see the Zags complete a perfect season....but that Baylor just had too many advantages. Bears simply have an elite defense, elite shooting, and elite speed with the ball. Zags have not seen any of those all season....and Baylor has it through their entire lineup. Zags are good, but they won't beat Baylor tonight.

The only way the Zags keep it close is if Baylor gets sloppy and complacent....and they can do that as we have seen already. If they stay focused and play hard to the buzzer, this lead could go over 25.

Zags zone is very low energy. They have to pick up defensive intensity if they are going to stay in it.

I don't think there's any adjustments Gonzaga can make. Baylor's just so much faster and quicker at every position. Can't keep them off the offensive boards on defense, can't get open for any clean perimeter looks on offense.

Gonzaga FTs go up directly proportional to how far they go down...

Gonzaga took 6 3s and turned it over 8 times. Looks like a bad Illini halftime box score.

Just tuned in before the half, do my eyes deceive me? Has anybody wondered how Bo Boroski gets a national championship game. Sheesh! Talk about low standards. Is the NCAA so cheap they would have him do the game just because he's from Indy? Wow.

Edit: Apologies, others already beat me to it!
