We are all Baylor fans Monday night!

[akaukswoosh]

If Gonzaga wins, I’m fine with it. Thank goodness it won’t be friggin’ UCLA. That said, I’ve liked Baylor all along to win it all and like them even more now. I expect the Zags to be as flat as a pancake Monday.

 

[Wildcats1st]

Watching Gonzaga today was like watching a poor mans laetner duke team.they’re all too woke to stomp a dude though. Better get used to hating them too. I mean the way it played out with grant hill on the call suggs ughhh I wanna puke thinking about it but it’s best UCLA lost but man o man

 

[Randy Bob]

Both great teams great coaches, I think the zags will win.

 

[Untouchables96]

I have a feeling that Baylor is playing so well again after their long layoff that they might actually beat Gonzaga easily.

 

[Rafterman]

You have obviously not watched them play

I’ve watched them play multiple times this year. I haven’t seen anything that offends me.

Having two religious affiliated schools in the Final is an unusual twist. It’s the Catholics versus the Baptists.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I like Few and Drew. Wouldn't mind either winning it all. If Few finishes the job, it applies pressure on Cal since he wanted to go undefeated and Few would have beat him to it.

Having two religious affiliated schools in the Final is an unusual twist. It’s the Catholics versus the Baptists.

And both coaches are religious. Few was the son of a minister.

 

[kgargus]

An undefeated season in a COVID year, coming from a team that plays in a Truck Stop Conference and scheduled some of the most overrated squads in the nation such as Kansas and Virginia in the non-conference?


Yeah that doesn't sit right with me, go Bears

You can complain about their conference schedule but Gonzaga's non conference schedule is legit

 

[wildcatwelder_rivals]

Yeah, as others have said I too just want to see a good game and not rooting for either team.

Zags have been close, and I think this is their year. Zags by 4: 78-74.

 

[KyFaninNC]

Not me. Pulling for the Zags

 

[wildcatsboston1984_rivals]

I for one will not be rooting for Rapist University, aka Baylor

 

[Crums Bald Spot]

West Virginia gave Gonzaga all they wanted due to being a much more athletic and strong team. Baylor is WVU on steroids. Baylor's main objective should be to not crap the bed. They do that, they win by 5-7 points.

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

No

 

[kl40504_rivals]

And what get you excited for next season except that we start 0-0.

That I will be attending games.

 

[kl40504_rivals]

Did they finish 9-16?

Who?

 

[BluCroo]

Timme's game reminds me of Rick Robey.

If fact, I really enjoy Gonzaga's style of play. They actually feed the post every now and then,..like colleges did back when they were more interested in winning than running an NBA farm club.

 

[kl40504_rivals]

I like Few and Drew. Wouldn't mind either winning it all. If Few finishes the job, it applies pressure on Cal since he wanted to go undefeated and Few would have beat him to it.

Cal has no pressure either way.

 

[PsychoticGerbil]

Am not so jealous and insecure to hate on Gonzaga and feebly try to diminish what they might accomplish. EVERYBODY here would be raging if we were in that position and anybody dared try to do the same.

 

[Schwagg]

The Mighty Zags will go down as one of the all-time greats win or lose tomorrow night.

 

[ORCAT]

Don't really mind if Gonzaga goes undefeated, it would actually be funny. Indiana hardly ever gets talked about except to mention their perfect season. Imagine if they didn't even have that!

All I really want is a good game. Don't care who wins.

Pretty much how I feel.. Just hoping to see a great competitive game and not care really who wins. Zags win and get an undefeated season, good for them. Don't see any way that reflects on us as one poster above is saying. To me, it just means I don't have to keep hearing how IU and Bobby Knight were the last ones to ever do it. Big deal if it's Gonzaga. Mark Few seems like a good guy and way better person than Knight so good for him if he does it.

Timme plays the game from the shoulders up. He is not athletic, not quick, not strong, couldn't jump over a phone book, and has no outside shot, yet game after game he takes all these high flying first round draft choices to school. One of the smartest if not the smartest player that I have ever watched.

 

[bucsrule8872]

I like Few better than Drew, but I still have to pull for Baylor.

I can see Gonzaga becoming Duke West.

Just in time for K to retire, here comes Few/Gonzaga to become the media darling.

Ughh!

 

[AustinTXCat]

I work with Baylor grads. Campus sits 90 miles north.

Sic 'em, Bears.

 

[CB3UK]

Baylor is greasy as all get out, but I hope they take down the Zags tomorrow.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost_rivals]

Go Zags

 

[billCgmx]

No to Baylor

[DudahUK]

Here.

 

[gojvc]

Want Baylor to win. But picked Gonzaga. I win my tournament group if Zags win. Future son in law wins if Baylor wins. Very important statement game for me.

Oh dear. Yeah, this is a must win for you. This will be more nerve wracking for you than if UK was playing.

 

[katkraze]

I don’t like Baylor — I’ll go with Gonzaga

 

[CatsIndy2010]

I hope gonzaga makes history but, when the stakes are this high.....you never know what kind of performance you will get out of a particular team. Baylor, I feel like I do not know them that well. They are kinda unknown to me. I'll put it this way, few has done well and this would be the best outcome of his hard work at gonzaga. I only wish them the best tomorrow night and look forward to next season as UK tries to right the ship to success again.

 

[yoshukai]

I’m all in on Gonzaga. Now if Cal hadn’t crapped the bed against Wisconsin I wouldn’t be . We would probably have beaten Duke .

 

[bgoad72]

We are obviously not all Baylor fans Monday night. Stupid title. Brackets, bets, personal preference, whatever side u choose has NOTHING to do with uk basketball me way or another. does gonzaga going undefeated somehow hurt the University if Kentucky’s legacy somehow? Does take away our all time wins, final fours, or championships? Nope. Just because we couldn’t close the deal in 2015 and people are jealous that another team might, I think that is stupid.
Great story if they do. If they don’t, great story for Baylor also.
Gonna be an epic final. 4 point game either way.

 

[Bratkartoffeln]

Can't root for the zags undefeated season.

I'm rooting for us, period.

I'm amazed at UCLA's resiliency...they could have folded down 66-59 the other night but clawed there way back into it and nearly pulled a huge upset that wouldn't have been much of an upset. Great game. I think about this because those two teams showed exactly the kind of toughness it takes to compete with the best, something we did only momentarily and then would revert to our normal soft selves. I've always been impressed with Mark Few's teams--he gets a lot out of his players, but it was Mick Cronin who really gets lots of coaching credit. More a fan of his now than ever before...to get those guys to believe in themselves mentally like that was a superb effort by Cronin and staff...outstanding coaching on those sides.

Don't really care who wins. Both make good cases for being the best team, with Gonzaga probably being the most impressive team with the most versatility seen since our 2015 boys. You may not like Timme, but he's pretty darn talented in virtually every category. Gonzaga is my choice to win, 85-78. Baylor's guards are terrific but Mark Few gets his first championship.

 

[howercat]

Ok, let's go Baylor!

 

[TortElvisII]

Is it better Indiana lose their last claim to fame or hold on to something that's 45 years ago?

 

[howercat]

Congrats to the bears!
