For what Scott Drew has been able to do since 2003, he revived Baylor. To get their first championship is something the school should be proud. They played very well on both sides of the ball. Shooting the three pointer at the right time. Physical defense, which did get them into a little trouble with one fouling out. But the result were a lot of steals and blocks. Offensive rebounds that made a difference. They were dominant from the start and it showed.
While refs dictated their championship loss in 2017, Gonzaga got outplayed in this one. Hesitation to shoot, especially in the second half. Going cold on free throws. Missing a lot of three point shots. They looked sloppy. Even when it got down to single digit deficits, too many turnovers and poor passes. They hit a wall and couldn't recover at any point. I'm not sure if the team will have an opportunity any time soon to get back to the championship game.
I've seen worse games. Mediocre game overall, but a couple times where it felt like a ball game was present.
