I think Baylor wins it to be honest. When your road to get here is directional university, Oklahoma, Creighton, USC and UCLA with the last one pushing you to the limit, that isn’t exactly a daunting gauntlet. Their road here was kind of like Illinois road only they completed it and thanks again to Coach Unimpressed for his epic failure.
It’s not just an NC game for Gonzaga, but the undefeated streak as well. That last part almost bit them last game. It should bite them completely against Baylor. All that great WCC competition they’ve faced all season comes back to bite them Monday night.
UCLA played a
great game. Gonzaga actually played very well, also. Might have been the best game we saw all year where two very good teams played at really high level in addition to the first OSU/UM game.
If UCLA had handled the last possession in regulation a little better where they seemed confused as to time and situation they would have won. UCLA turned out to be a very solid team with a kid who was under radar and is now an NBA lock and caught fire last three weeks.
That said- I think Gonzaga held, and that may have been the best opportunity to knock them off.
I think they beat Baylor.
As much as I would like to view them as the Duke of the West and their ability to pick and choose whomever they want from recruits/transfers and Euro players every year- it is hard to not like and respect Few.
I think what you see on camera is real. And he gets kids to stay to build program continuity.
