I really love watching Gonzaga play and hope they win it all but I expect a Gonzaga - Baylor final to be a really good one that I'll stay up past my bedtime to watch to the end. Probably the only real test they'll get to an undefeated season. Baylor's guards are really good but Baylor will have to find a way to deal with Timme to have a shot at winning. And Suggs is unbelievably good in such an understated way.

NCJohnnie, I know we have similar bedtimes, and like you I will violate mine to watch Gonzaga win (hopefully).
In a one-and-done you just never know.
WVa a good but not great team this year fought them to a five point loss. I know that was back in early December at Banker's Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. and Suggs had only 4 points. Scott Drew will probably call up HuggyBear for some insight. WVa was up by 5 at halftime.
Gonzaga meets all of my criteria for having a rooting interest when the Johnnies (any Big East team) are not involved: small Catholic (Jesuit) college, not a major state school with unlimited resources, not a legendary Blue Blood (though recent vintage blue blood); with a very likable and great coach; no scandals no cheating; seems like great kids who are team first, not me-first. Only thing missing is Sister Jean, but hey, she is from another Jesuit school ;-)
