They'd beaten good teams, but then had 100 days without strong competition
That's why I said
"this is the first time in 100 days that Gonzaga has played a really good team. In the interim, it's possible that BYU was their strongest opponent (either them or USC, both 6 seeds). That's not a knock on Gonzaga but playing BYU, a bunch of mediocre WCC teams, and then getting a 16, 9, 6, 11 path to the title isn't going to prepare them for a team like Baylor."
There schedule was very front-loaded and then mediocre for 3+ months and I wonder if that didn't keep them as sharp. Not the end of the world obviously, but something I'd be looking at if I was Gonzaga.

Very true. They could never seal the deal. They also benefitted from weak competition during the regular season.

To be honest I have actually never cared about Utah Basketball that much, so your insults there are a waste of time.
