Spread is 4 1/2....I'm not gonna touch that. Might play the over (160).

Wound up betting $110 on the over (159) and $50 on Baylor ML +167.

EDIT: Threw in a Baylor + 4 1/2/ Over 159 1/2 parlay for 50 bucks. Last NCAABB game to bet on...WTF

So much for a perfect season. I'm wondering if Gonzaga wasn't feeling a little bit of collective doubt and mental/physical drain following that classic against UCLA. Meanwhile, Baylor was hitting on all cylinders.
All-in-all a memorable tournament.

Great performance by Baylor, and they were my pick to win it all going in. While Gonzaga may have been undefeated and was destroying their competition, Baylor had one of the toughest schedules in the NCAA, with 6 of their final 8 regular season games being against Top-25 opponents while Gonzaga had last played a Top-25 team in December. At the end of the day, losing some games and facing adversity in others is important, because when Baylor jumped out to that quick large lead, Gonzaga was unable to respond.

Exactly!

Gonzaga plays in an absolutely terrible conference. They weren't exactly "tested" in the ways so many other teams get tested in the regular season. True, they did have some impressive victories in the non conference portion of the schedule.

I completely agree the UCLA game wore them out, but I also believe Baylor is simply the better team.
