Baylor is incredible. Very interesting that they sometimes have a five on the floor with players 6'5 and smaller. Very interesting. Modern spread out basketball on display, very pretty to watch... To me it looks like Baylor is playing streetball and just beating them with their overall team speed. Every player on Baylor's team seem like they are doing one on one plays and just beating Gonzaga to the basket or shooting jump shots after they shake thier man off with the dribble. I don't know if it's pretty (the offense) to watch because it doesn't look to well organized to me. However, it is very effective. On defense, is where it looks pretty what Baylor is doing.

Also, Zags lack of depth on full display. A very young team. Kispert the only upperclassman getting a lot oof time. Gonzaga normally has 2 to 4 red shirt freshman. But Few only playing 7 player rotation. Normally runs 8, but not tonight.

We are watching two completely different games then...

Baylor is the entire package.
They aren't doing anything new. They can beat you in multiple ways. Above all else, they can defend.
Vital is vital tonight.

Baylor passes incredibly well and every player other than the bigs dribbles well. They have 8 well rounded players. They do get uot and run, but really disciplined with shot selection and pass to a better shot. Really impressive.

Well, a Jesuit school from Washington whose name begins with "G" and has a bulldog for a mascot is in the championship game. . . and getting blown out.

We are watching two completely different games then... Yep, you know ain't it too many things that you and I agree on Etomic but this is certainly one thing that we can agree on. We are definitely watching two different games. Just after I wrote my comment, the announcer said the exact same thing I said. He said that every Baylor player uses the dribble drive. So yeah, we are watching two different games.

Yeah but the big difference to me is the team speed of Baylor and the fact that four of their guys break down their own man with the dribble.

It is more than just recruiting. This is a well constructed roster. Every piece fits. The synergy among the group is impressive in all facets.

Refs have made a lot of really poor calls in both directions tonight. The aren't anywhere near the best refs and they are covering a National Championship?

Before the commercial break, the play by play announcer said, few trying to figure out some answers! Ain't no answers for this buddy! Baylor is Tampa Bucaneering Gonzaga tonight. Let them know from the get go, tonight is not your night.

I wish that we had dribblers on our team like Baylor does where they can shake their man with a jump shot or get to the basket. This is what I wanted from my boy Pickett and my boy Bile to do.

Also, Zags lack of depth on full display. I never realized that they ran a 7 man rotation

I think UCLA could have given us a better ballgame tonight.

Pickett and Bile are different type of players. Dante can do it, but he is too short to finish at the rim consistently like the Baylor guards.
