definition of a heavyweight fight
both were pretty clearly the top teams in the country all year
I'm taking the points (and Baylor ML), and I think it's going to be a great game. very excited!

I gotta go with Gonzaga since I'll finish 2nd in a large bracket pool if they win.
Going with the ZAGS.
The NC Game was pretty much played the other day IMO between UCLA and the ZAGS. ULCA got hot at the right time, and it took a monumental effort to beat them even for Gonzaga. Having said that I think the ZAGS are a lot more battle tested, have the better players, the better coach, and history is riding on their side.

I think the Zags will probably win, but man can Baylor play D at times. Their guards will put a ton of pressure on Gonzaga guards. I hope when Timme celebrates his mustache someone accidently drops him and elbow. Can't stand that guy.
Baylor so that I can keep climbing the rankings in the HOL bracket sweepstakes!

Baylor's defense is a constrictor and gets tighter the longer the game. Watching D'Mitchell on J'Suggs tonight should be high drama right out of the chute. Baylor will pressure Zag guards to keep Timme from getting the ball or he'll have a big night. Baylor has three guys down low but none even close to Timme's class. If Baylor's treys are falling, they win in a shoot-out. I'm going with the B12 Baptists.

So the low-major, the team that kicked the **** out of the Jays...is getting KILLED so far by a P5 school.
Announcers keep saying Zags look “tired.” No, they look like they’re getting out-athleted, because they are. Can’t stay in front of their guys, can’t keep Baylor off the glass, can’t find any space to operate on offense. Maybe it will change, but they look helpless.
Da Bears, Da Bears, Da Bears. Gonzaga had a tough game Saturday, and it took everything they had to win. Coming down to Earth from that euphoria and then getting up again against a very talented team in Baylor is easier said than done. However, we've seen big leads evaporate in games all the time, so Gonzaga might be able to get a second wind and make a game of it, we shall see.
Baylor’s shot selection is also outstanding. They know how to find seams and knock down mid-range shots, which is kind of rare these days.
A game like this tonight is a reason that Gonzaga would lose 3 or 4 games in a power 5 conference playing in a more physical and upgrade talent conference of players..
Baylor is shooting 47% to Gonzaga's 55%. Baylor is absolutely destroying them on the boards and just a far superior team athletically. Gonzaga should have never beat UCLA to begin with.
Zags would have never entered the tournament unbeaten in a Power 5 conference..
absolutely would beat the b1g head to head
and Baylor would've been the favorite to win any conference in the country
