Who wins the national title tonight?

[lou v]

It's the matchup we wanted, and deserved. The two best teams battling it out for the national title. Who takes home the hardware?

For the WildcatReport Pool, it's pretty simple. We've got two guys at the top with 109 points: FrancisSearle75 has Gonzaga, Collmody (Smelly) has Baylor. So, here's how it will go:

If Gonzaga wins, FrancisSearle75 is the champ, with FightNorthwestern as the runner-up.

If Baylor wins, Collmody is the champ, with GatoLouco coming in second.

Looking forward to a great game...though I don't know how it can top Saturday night's.

I would have won the WR Pool if UH had beaten Baylor in the semis, but alas, it wasn't even close. If Baylor plays with that same amount of intensity tonight, then they're champs.

I'm Collmody, so I'm rooting for Baylor, but I think Gonzaga will win easily.

Gonzaga finally had to play a top tier team and they’re getting destroyed.

Gonzaga finally had to play a top tier team and they’re getting destroyed.

In fairness they dismantled a USC team that, up to that game, looked, to me, as the best Pac12 team in the tournament.

Gonzaga is really skilled offensively but their defense is pretty average. They also lack athleticism against quick teams, even having the size. That showed tonight.

I thought the bad matchup for Gonzaga on their side of the bracket was Alabama. Quick, athletic. They never faced them.

We'll see you on The Rock, Smelly! Congrats!

I picked Baylor to lose early. Shows what I know. My mom (a Baylor grad) is probably shaking her head in shame.

So wait, what did I win?

Proof that karma is a factor in March Madness.

You can’t block a shot through the rim, Zags. The consequences will reverberate for years.

Respect and admiration from all the denizens of this board..... so basically nothing.

Until you start passing on the rant board.

Respect from everyone. Obv.

Because the bracket is 100% skill. Obv.

Baylor Drew up a great game plan. Gonzaga's three-pointers were Few and far between.

No, they faced the team that beat Alabama.
