30 minutes to tip - who and why?

[jaymOU]

OU has a unique position of playing both teams. The transitive property really doesn’t apply, but OU could have given the Zags more of a run if Manek could have hit shots and Reaves didn’t pick up that cheap charge for foul No. 2.

Never felt like OU could stay with Baylor.

So Baylor by 6 tonight.

 

[NickZepp]

Baylor has the talent and probably should win on that alone. But Gonzaga plays solid basketball and will keep coming at you. I think I lean towards Gonzaga but it's real close. Being tested like they were against UCLA may fire them up a bit.

 

[ouboomer]

Baylor is better on defense and if they can hit those 3s than they will cut down the nets, but the Zags can flat out score on anybody and have the best player on the court in Suggs and maybe even best two (Timme) I have the feeling the Zags will get it done tonight, so Gonzaga is my pick

 

[CoachTalk]

Bears. I think their guards can defend well enough even if Timme gets his points inside

 

[red recluse]

i sure didn't have suggs leaving his brain back at the hotel.

 

[NickZepp]

Baylor starting hot. Not counting out Zaga yet though.

 

[NickZepp]

Not a good sign with Zaga turning to over so much.

 

[MrAnderson]

Who does Baylor lose next year?

Butler could go pro.

Teague and Vital are their only guys getting minutes that are seniors. Obviously seniors could have the option of coming back next year.

 

[stormspencer]

I picked Baylor to win in both of the brackets I filled out including the OUHoops bracket. My thought was the Zags have not seen defense or athletes like this all year. The other thing is that I thought Timme might get pushed around. I figured he would get some points, but he would struggle on the boards.

Game is far from over, but I didn't think it was very good matchup for Gonzaga.

Dhavion Mitchell is a first round draft pick. Butler will get drafted as well.

The only question on both is size. But then again today's NBA game seems to be about making 3s. I've seen both still projected as first rounders by some.

 

[NickZepp]

Zaga within 10. Feels like a lot more.

 

[rickjames]

Refs keeping Zaga in this game with free throws. What a huge disparity and a bunch of bs.

Zaga is going inside more. I'm not sure tat Suggs play was a blocking foul, that could have easily been a charge.

13-2 advantage on ft’s is ridiculous.

 

[TINY]

Not even close to as bad as the refs screwed ou against the zags. When every announcer including Charles Barkley calls out the officials you know it was bad.

 

[NickZepp]

It feels like Baylor can't miss a 3.

 

[NickZepp]

Baylor is just keeping the lead around 10-15 points. It'll be tough for Zaga to use energy to get a real come back if it keeps staying around here much longer.

 

[NickZepp]

That run right there probably ended it for Zaga. The got to within 9 but then Baylor just went on an 8-0 run in a flash.
