NOW do you believe the numbers and my 88-year-old eyeballs?
86-70! The closest Gonzaga came was BEFORE the opening tipoff: 0-0. After that, Baylor shot out to an 11-1 lead and NEVER trailed.
Baylor held Gonzaga to its lowest point total of the season with the Bears’ tenacious defense that brought almost 20 points from turnovers. It was 21 points BELOW the Zags’ season average because they didn’t play against Big 12 competition all season like Baylor did.
Gonzaga made 5 of 17 attempts at 3-pointers, its worst showing in March Madness.
Remember, my expert eyeballs and I said Big 12 was equal to any conference at the top and superior in depth?
Well, check this out:
Baylor had a tougher game than the 16-point gap against Gonzaga from Big 12 members Iowa State (0-17 in the Big 12!), which lost by FIVE and 11; Oklahoma, which lost by 15; Texas Tech, which lost by 8 and 15; Kansas, which lost by 8 and 13; Oklahoma State, which lost by 11 and 15 but DEFEATED Baylor in the Big 12 tournament by 9!; Texas, which lost by 14; West Virginia, which lost by 5 IN OVERTIME; and Kansas State, which lost by 6.
THIRTEEN TIMES Baylor had a closer game with Big 12 teams than with no-longer-undefeated Gonzaga!
Anyone who refuses to believe the Big 12 had the best team AT THE TOP and the BEST DEPTH is just so overcome with jealousy that they can’t see reality.
The numbers were right for a month, as I have posted, and been savaged for it. And my dinosaur eyeballs have been right for a month.
As for the Big 10: Creampuffs!
Anyone idiotic enough to dispute THAT now?
Apologize for attacking my numbers and my eyeballs those who did, particularly Big 12 apologists, if you’re man enough to do so!
This was the most dominating performance, opening tipoff to final horn, that I can remember and I'm 88 years old. And against an undefeated team! Gonzaga would NOT have gone unbeaten in the Big 12. Hell, the Zags would have struggled to finish second or third, maybe even fourth!
Every team in the Big 12 deserves a share of the credit for Baylor's dominance over Gonzaga. After surviving the Big 12 gauntlet, March Madness was a piece of cake for Baylor. No one made the Bears sweat. Hartford lost by 24, Houston by 19, Wisconsin by 13, Arkansas by 9, Villanova by 11, Gonzaga by 16.
That's a combined margin of 92 points, or 15.3 average per game.
Baylor had a tougher time against Big 12 teams SIX TIMES than it did against any team it played in March Madness!
Give it up, guys. Baylor is #1 and so is Big 12 depth. Stop disagreeing with me and making yourself the laughing stock on sports forums in America!
