Ok???? They still outplayed UCLA over the course of the game.

Not really considering it went into overtime and took a miracle to win it at the buzzer.

UCLA could have easily won that game.

This is a little similar to the Elite 8 game that Baylor had against Arkansas. Played a phenomenal first 10-12 minutes then honestly kind of played average for the rest of the game.

And just like that it’s back to 17

Are they really using the semifinal as an excuse?

 

[95 Vol Alum]

The 3pt disparity is everything. Gonzaga getting to the line, though.

Yeah I don’t buy it. Usually coming off an emotional win, fatigue, both mental and physical, doesn’t manifest itself until the last ten or so minutes of the second half.

Baylor bench is doing what it has done all year 12-0

 

[DocVOLiday]

not a huge fan of that offensive possession for baylor. I'd like them to stay aggressive

Good battle back Zags

 

[95 Vol Alum]

Zags can get it to -10 by half, they are in it.

bump

Baylor missed their chance to step on the neck, it’s a ball game again

Down 10...seems like it should be 30.

 

[Boston Vol]

Pretty sure that this would match the biggest halftime deficit that’s ever been overcome in the title game. Kentucky was down 10 to Utah in ‘98. Don’t think that there’s been a bigger deficit overcome since then.

**** you for bringing that one up! Most painful natty of my life. My Dad is U of U alum

Three point line and offensive glass is the entire game. Baylor is shooting 7/12 from three, Gonzaga is only 1/6. Baylor’s nine offensive rebounds were really the difference. Gonzaga is actually outshooting Baylor, 54-50.

It would be the largest deficit at any point overcome as well (19 vs record of 15 point deficit).

Gonzaga was down 12 at half in WCC Championship Game. Path to victory has to be keeping Baylor fouling.

Another offensive rebound leads to a three.

 

[Boston Vol]

Not a good start to the second half for Gonzaga.

 

[Boston Vol]

Gonzaga doing whatever they want on the offensive end

 

[DocVOLiday]

suggs has always impressed me as a pretty mature freshman PG while on the floor

EDIT: I say always as in this year lol (in big games)

 

[95 Vol Alum]

The ball handling errors by the Zags killing them.

 

[Boston Vol]

That floating camera is annoying as hell
