This. Plus it's one game. Baylor was on fire and Zags played poorly.

If they play 10 times, I'm thinking they split 5/5.

Few got out coached by Drew last night. I bet we see three Gonzaga starters

I don't know if Baylor played that aggressive all season but that was definitely

kispert thought he was done when a shot would go up. Just turns and watches

The Gonzaga players’ lack of poise was a big problem

Baylor just shot it way better. Happens.

Turnpike Lane

They shot worse. But got 18 more shots because of rebounding and TOs

3 pt shooting was a big difference. Baylor was 10-23 and Gonzaga was 5-17. But

Offensive rebounds too.

Gonzaga should have been able to turn things around when Baylor's top bigs went

Vital at 6' 5" was playing like a big, he was pretty impressive down low.

Gonzaga looked soft

Baylor has better and far more athletic players. They shot and rebounded

Shoot the same shots again and you’d expect a 50/50 game:

Mr. Scoobs

4/6/21 7:49am

I don't care what his algorithm says, if Baylor gets 18 more shot attempts, the

Clearly that was the biggest problem. But people are overreacting too much over

Mr. Scoobs

I cheer for Gonzaga but don't see Gonzage winning more than 2 games in a 7 game

johnnybyu

4/6/21 8:35am

I guess what I'm saying is that I wouldn't favor them in a best of 7 if Baylor

You might be Gonzaga’s biggest defender.

That makes zero sense! Gonzaga struggled to get into an offensive flow the

I think gonzaga was tired, their guards were lazy with the ball,

Gonzaga had less than 48 hours after that emotional win Saturday. They came out

Wow, the Gonzaga goggles are thick on this board.

garyfan

4/6/21 8:16am

You’re right. But that Gonzaga team was 2nd best in all of college basketball,

I've simply watched enough to know that much of Gonzaga's problem last night was

Not many objective observers would watch last night's game and conclude that

4/6/21 12:43pm

Which is why evaluating teams based on one game isn’t an objective process.

Mr. Scoobs

4/6/21 12:52pm

I don't doubt that Gonzaga is really efficient against Pacific and USD.

garyfan

4/6/21 1:07pm

And they were efficient against Kansas (who beat Baylor). Ignoring an entire

Mr. Scoobs

4/6/21 1:21pm

When did I say they aren't a top-2 team? I'm pushing back on the ridiculous

garyfan

4/6/21 3:01pm

Explain how objective quality metrics are ridiculous? How are favorites

Mr. Scoobs

4/6/21 3:17pm

I favor what happens on the court over what happens with an algorithm.

garyfan

4/6/21 3:26pm

So is Oklahoma st or Kansas better than Baylor based on the “court results”

Mr. Scoobs

4/6/21 3:32pm

No, because we have ON COURT evidence that OSU and Kansas are inferior to Baylor

garyfan

4/6/21 3:42pm

GU beat Kansas and Baylor lost to Kansas. So Baylor can never take that loss out

Mr. Scoobs

When you’re resorting to the transitive property to make your case,

Tried to dumb it down since things like KenPom, Sagarin, Massey ratings, Vegas

Mr. Scoobs

I bet even Gonzaga admits they were overmatched, but here you are,

You asked why people would still bet on Gonzaga—I provided several objective

It’s completely crazy because those two teams just played a game and the outcome

Suggs will be a player, Timme and Kispert will make a roster for a year or two

RC Vikings

I doubt kispert will. dude can't defend athletic quick guys.

College basketball is a fickle sport. Late in the season, Baylor looked

Baylor has at least 3 NBA guys

Honestly I was very impressed by Jared Butler and Davion Mitchell, both

I can see Butler as a George Hill type player, Mitchell is good but I'm not

RC Vikings

Mitchell is an elite defender, does not turn it over, and can finish at the rim.
