Let's not discount the impact of the pressure of trying to go undefeated had on last night's game.  

Let's not overstate it, either. Gonzaga got exposed as a bad defensive team two games in a row, Baylor just had the players to actually beat them.

I enjoyed watching the Zags as much as anybody, but when is the last time a team got to the finals not playing a team in the AP top 25?

Gonzaga played a 16, 8, 5, 6 and an 11 before meeting Baylor. Talk about having the stars align in a tournament; it has to be one of the easiest paths to the finals in some time.

That was my thought as well.  They looked like Iowa playing defense last night.  If Few wants to win a national championship, he's going to have to teach a little more defense than the Zags showed last night.

If you can get his email address for me, I'll send him this link.

Duke is normally given easy routes and almost always put into the east.

Like this....just one of like 20 plays that Baylor made that showed the difference in attitude and athleticism between the two teams.
