I loved watching that d.

Baylor shooting decent. Maybe Gabe goes there?

 

[MplsGopher]

And Timme is a cocky douche.

Looks less douchey than mullet man on Baylor.

Disagree.

 

[MplsGopher]

Here we go. Under 10

 

[coolhandgopher]

Transfers from UNC-Asheville (Teague) and Presbyterian ((Flagler) for Baylor and Southern Illinois (Cook) for Gonzaga have me Final Four dreaming for the Gophers next season ;-)

 

[stocker08]

WOW WOW WOW! That was one hell of a sequence.

 

[MplsGopher]

Jebus. So much for under 10

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Baylor is FEELING it!

 

[Spaulding!No!]

No, that timme kiss thing is just the worst.

 

[Roland Brooks]

Few better make an adjustment... one that works

Baylor reminds me of UNLV in their heyday. Smothering, fast defense. A lot of people talked about their high flying offense, I loved watching that d.

Early on in the game, I was going to post that this had the ‘90 championship game where UNLV blew Duke out by 30, but then deleted it as Gonzaga clawed back into it.

But this is the closest approximation to that squad I can think of, right down to the outlaw reputation and multiple transfers. Hell, I even heard a scream after a dunk that channeled Moses Scurry .

I just can't see Gonzaga making a significant run here. Baylor is more talented and more athletic. Tough road to hoe.

There's no question that Gonzaga is a great team. But Baylor is playing their A game. And it's much more impressive than Gonzaga's A game.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

This is going to be depressing seeing a team go so far to perfection and fail. Was hoping to see history but they are out here getting bodied tonight.

 

[Obi-Wan Okogie]

Also, haven't been paying full attention but not seeing much from Suggs. Would hope to see a star take over here ala Carr.

 

[coolhandgopher]

Starting to wonder where this game will register in Mark Few’s career for margin of loss...

Really? I really don't want to see a team go perfect unless it's the Gophers or another Minnesota team.

The Patriots in 2007-2008? Go Giants!

Suggs has 19...

He's hit a couple of big threes to keep the game from getting out of hand.

Zags are shooting 54% and getting hammered.

This game has been out of hand since halfway through the 1st half. Gonzaga looks like a mid major against Baylor. The talent and intensity difference is so much more than I thought it would be.

 

[stocker08]

Yup. Baylor making their outside shots. They are turning Gonzaga over. And they have been getting second chance points all game. Just doing everything correctly.

Tonight and Saturday leaves little doubt in my mind that if they played in a power 6 conference, they'd have had 3-4 losses. Still a great team either way though .

I like seeing history/greatness and I especially don't mind when our teams aren't even close lol. If we had potential to do this soon too then maybe I wouldn't be excited for them. I like seeing greats in action though, they are so rare.

 

[goldengophers]

Baylor a complete team.

Enjoy this Baylor team—don’t want to be a prisoner of the moment, but they’ve had the most impressive Final Four weekend that I can recall in a long time.

 

[Ski-U-Ham]

Man, Suggs could've stayed home and not won the championship. I bet he's regretting his decision now

 

[MplsGopher]

Please .. god ... yahweh ... vishnu ... whatever the F is out there ....

let Nuness bring even just a piece of whatever drugs or whatever it is they’re giving these guys down in Waco

 

[bga1]

The story is really as much in the rebounding as anything. Baylor ahead 36-19.
