Amazing run by Baylor. To dominate a great Houston team and then an undefeated Gonzaga. Well earned and deserved
Absolutely.
^^^
Real talk!!!
Complete physical domination esp. on the offensive glass
007
The game was decided in the first 5 minutes. Baylor dominated for 40 minutes.
The refs made the game close
Yep
@@camerondunaitis1810 Baylor would’ve won by 30+ if it weren’t for the refs. Refs singlehandedly saved face for Gonzaga
I think Baylor should thank UCLA to show hey they can be beat.
@@W4TSKY like literally
I dont think people realize how good Baylor's on-ball perimeter defense is.
They do now!
It was ELITE!!
Baylors perimeter D is so good that they could barely get the ball in the post as well lol
They give no space. None. I don't care what their defensive rank is. That was a CLINIC!
That's how you play Defense. 💪
It was an Incredible performance for Baylor ... They Dominated the best team in college this past year in every category you can think of. They proved they were the best very easily !!!
except Gonzaga wasn't the best team this year. They're the most-overrated team every year.
@@sarahrogers8108 Whoa Sarah ... That's a big statement to say ... I am not a Zags fan but a die hard Florida Gators fan ... But i mean the stats are there for Gonzaga ... They actually have the highest winning percentage in all of college basketball since 1999 ... That's alot to say when you factor in the Duke's and other powerhouse schools.
If you ever wanted to witness a premier coached team. It was Baylor on both sides of the ball, everything was crisp and fluent, with little to none indecisiveness. Each player knew what to do, and how to read and react individually and collectively each play was executed with precision. Nothing was forced, nobody tried to do too much, and they knew how to get it too hot hand. At no point did confusion or what to do from Baylor in its entirety
FINALLY some respect on Baylor Basketballs program... feels good
Baylor may have been the best all year but the "Media Darling" was Gonzaga
Gonzaga got straight bullied.
Gonzaga believed its own hype.
You guys are hittin the bong! The better team won, yes. But, Baylor played the defensive game of their lives and Gonzaga STILL shot 51% from the field! Baylor shot almost 90% from the free throw line, shot almost 45% from 3-pt range only had 9 turnovers and STILL only outscored Gonzaga by 6 points the rest of the game after taking an 11-1 lead. Nothing weak, scared, or hype about the way Gonzaga played.
@@johnet22 Great analysis AND YOU ARE RIGHT!! These weak minded young people that only know their cell phones can't reason the way out of a paper sack! My wife and several other people pointed out how muscular and developed Baylor basketball players were. I examined their ages and found 22, 23, and two players at 24.5 going on 25 years of age. Was Michael Jordan more dominant at 24 and 25 compared to 19?? YEAH definitely!! This BAYLOR team was the OLDEST COLLEGE BASKETBALL team in history to win the NCAA championship! This was a huge advantage for Baylor basketball and MAY LIKELY become a trend. Another huge factor was whistling SUGGS for 2 QUICK PERSONAL FOULS!! DEVISTATING!! SUGGS was hit with a charging foul that clearly was moving INTO Suggs. That happens and that is basketball and sometimes things don't go your way. Kispert struggled ALL TOURNAMENT with his 3 ball shooting! Who knows why, he got great open looks but they just didn't fall. Baylor NAILED ALL THEIR 3s and all their free throws!! I do think seeing how QUICK and muscular BAYLOR was will improve the ZAGS. They needed pro basketball level players testing them and Baylor was it...
John T u watch the same game I watched...this is the championship and history Zags did not take it seriously at all and played a ok game its the NCAA final not the WWC
@@johnet22 You obviously haven't watched Baylor very much.
Baylor Shut the media mouth up. Good job! Love when the Media Darlings lose to an overlooked team
I would not say that!! Baylor and the Zags Were always the favorite match up. BAYLOR was no unknown. About half the media favored Baylor and after I saw Baylor play Houston I knew we were in trouble!! The large physical and quick players!! Frankly I am a die hard ZAGS fan as I played against John Stockton ages ago and love the ZAGS!! REALLY this is the first time we attracted a Jalen Suggs To Gonzaga. Any other team we would have beaten but Baylor was old and strong and inner city tough. They had a 24 and 26 year old and a few 22 and 23 year olds. I graduated with dual BS in Physics and Chemistry and an MS in Physics from Purdue by the time I was 23!!
@@salmonkill7 bruh literally every professional sports announcer thought Gonzaga was gonna win and that Baylor would have to keep up + we don’t have a 26 year old on the team + cool, you graduated with a degree at a younger age, I don’t see you winning a national championship against the top ranked team in the country without ever being behind in the entire game
@@CK-sn2lg After I saw Baylor play Houston despite being a Washington State guy and Zags Fan, I played against John Stockton, I knew ZAGS were in trouble. I saw the size and quickness. Frankly I saw it coming after I watched that ONE Baylor game... Great win Baylor deserved it DEFINITELY!!
@@CK-sn2lg Do you know how big a school Gonzaga is? 5000 students it's tiny for DIVISION 1... They have come along way ... Jalen Suggs was the first top high school recruit at Gonzaga in School history. Few has done well for a small school in Spokane!! Baylor is doing well also hats off. I'm sick of DUKE and NORTH CAROLINA and KANSAS. Glad it was Baylor and not them :))
Eh wouldn’t say overlooked. They were clearly the #2 team all year.
😂 Gotta love how everyone suddenly has nice things to say about Baylor!
Nah we gotta be fair to Seth and LaPhonso. LaPhonso has picked Baylor over Gonzaga all year. And Seth has said the thing about Baylor’s d being the best since UNLV all year too
Congrats on Baylor's first national title. They played lights out on both ends of the floor.
Baylor so big, strong, athletic. They look like grown men.
My wife said MY GOODNESS THE BAYLOR PLAYERS LOOK LIKE GROWN MEN and I looked up the ages of key BAYLOR PLAYERS and they had 22, 23, 24, and a 26 year old!! I have never heard of 26 year olds in College basketball!! And the African player they often have incorrect and falsified birth certificates!! Hats off to Baylor they came to play their brand of SEMI PRO MENS LEAGUE BASKETBALL!!
@@salmonkill7 I just looked it up. Mark Vidal (prolly the biggest guy on the floor, I think he got compared to Charles Barkley during the game) is 24. But the rest seemed normal college age.
I'm saying those guys are 20 years old? Lol yeah right. 😂 What water they be drinking in TX? Congrats to dem Baylor ppls talk about inhiliation!
Them Texas Boys were clearly bigger and it showed in the paint under the rim
It was the speed. Black people are just faster than white people. Baylor was better and blacker
Scott drew did a phenomenal job with Baylor considering where they were when he took over the program they were basically dead in the water iu should of waited till the end of the tourney
Yes he did! I criticize him all the time but he shut my mouth up
IU wants nothing to do with a coach that threatens to have a recruit deported.
I see what you did there
Gonzaga outplay other teams by team work, but Baylor seems well prepared for their tricks. If they double team, Baylor passed ball to others. Also Baylor protected the ball well to prevent steal and fast break. And shoot 3’s well to lead early in the game.
When Stephen A said Gonzaga would definitely win, I knew this would happen
Baylor was arguably the best team in the country 2 seasons in a row. That.... doesn't happen often
Naw kansas was the best team last year
I really wanted Dayton to win it last year but that is possible
@@scottkestler1230 Baylor dominated Kansas by double digits in Allen field house in 2020. Baylor was the best team in 2020 and 21.
Davion Mitchell going to be nice in the league
He's gonna be a top 5 pick in the draft
100% Lottery pick best 2 way guard in the us ncaa.
That's Donovan lil bro
@@ghsense2626 no he's not.
@Jay Theboss Thats Jimmy's lil bro
Mitchell has D Rose type quickness of the dribble, Butler gives Me Dame Dolla vibes in Iso situations, Teague has Trey Young type skill in his game.
No Surprise. When they was announcing Gonzaga players name just to start the game I seen their body language I said they're in trouble. The real Dogs came out tonight Baylor was lit 🔥 End of story 🏆
I'm here to see Jay Bilas try to explain his prediction yesterday. " How is Baylor going to stop that Gonzaga team, I mean I"m not saying they have no chance but I don't see how they can win. That's your college basketball expert ESPN?🤔
@walkerwayz You sir are spot on. I only clicked this video to see Bilas post gm response. Never once did he say he was wrong smh.
Baylor defense was more active, they took advantage of some sloppy half court defense from the Zags, and they outshot them from 3 and mid range all night.
He went to Duke. Did you expect anything less? lol 😂😂😂
I love when they're wrong. Steven A ate crow also.
Too athletic and too skilled. Simple.
And too smart
and too powerful
Always bet on black! (In my wesley snipes voice)😎
Why does Jay Bilas look like he lost a lot of money tonight hahahaha
That clown always gets makes poor predictions
Still defense win championship. Gonzaga is #1 offensive team in ncaa tournament. Baylor can defend & can shot the ball.
Defense win chip only if you have a good enough offense. If it wasn't the case then Utah Jazz, Memphis Grizzlies and Detroit Pistons would have won way more times than they actually did in their history
That’s because they schedule Dixie State just to get a win and put up points
@@paquinraino8180 Detroit beat 2004 star staded lakers best duo in the league. Take note piston last in offense in that year. Dallas beat the big 3 of miami & dallas 1 of the last team in offense. Gonzaga 1 of the worst in defense this year. Gonzaga almost avg 91ppg but allways weakness is defense. Krispert is the worst perimeter defender & timmie is the worst pick roll defender. I don't said baylor not good in offense look my comment baylor can shot ball. Last 10 season nba 10 teams won the chip is top 3 in defensive rating. Who won the chip in nba history if you are dead last in defense & you are #1 offense give me 1 team?
Texas Boys done good. CONGRADS
U show right
None of the starters were from Texas, two were from Africa.
@@guileteemgowitevryteeng1711 nope only 1
@@guileteemgowitevryteeng1711 so what and what do you know about basketball comrad.
@@brianlohse7672 it’s a Texas program but their main workhorses were not from Texas. Only 6th man Mayer is. I wouldn’t call them Texas boys. Also it’s congrats not congrads.
like kenny said downstairs, baylor has aweight room - "charles barkley"
As well as 24 and 26 year old players
@@salmonkill7 you graduate high school and become a grown man, don’t try to play and act like Gonzaga wasn’t the favorite all tourney
The closest Gonzaga got was during the warm-ups. Great win and congratulations Baylor.
Baylor was well prepared and coached. Talent and execution win games and that is what Baylor displayed Monday night...
congrats Baylor, truly the best 👌
The game is decided when espn picked gonzaga!
You’re exactly right. that’s why I bet lots of money on Baylor. Thanks ESPN!
I agreed, Baylor's defense was phenomenal. They hustled all game long
Respect to both teams
Baylor had them boys on CLAMPS
I think Ucla have a better matchup to baylor players zaggs offense its very predictable if you stop timme in the post thats is over
UCLA would have lost by more... they played the game of their lives and still lost to Gonzaga 😂🤣
Real Kings dominated ...no blowing kisses in the air tonight...
😅🤣🤣😂😂 timmie!!!!!
Congrats 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Best team i’ve seen since Nova in 2018
Congratulations to Baylor Basketball Team.
Butler served up a win. Never a doubt.
A Whole lot of bad picks dominated my bracket 🤦🏾♂😭🤣
Was really hoping to hear Paul Pierce's take on this 🤣🤦
Gonzaga is from a weak conference their record is misleading them losing to Baylor is no surprise.
Gonzaga needs 2get moved to the PAC-12, it's the only way 2break them in to real competition.
Watched Big 12 all season a competitive conference with star players and Baylor dominated all of them except the one loss to Kansas
I agree that conference is trash
@@mrtwo6356 They can't they don't have a football program in school its would cost millions along building a stadium! $ $ $. Thats is why it hadn't happened the cost.
Great game, played with "precision" by Baylor from tip-off to the W & their 1st National Championship. Something tells me Scott Drew and the Baylor "TEAM" will be back! Congratulations Baylor University and Gonzaga on a 31-1 year!
The three pointer is what really helped them win. After going 5 for 5, I knew it was over for the Zags.
Great job by Baylor.
Wow that crazy
This wasn't a shocker at all. Best collegiate defense by farrrrr
Man I was hoping the zags had it this time. Congrats Baylor
Couldn’t be prouder to be a Baylor Bear! SIC ‘EM!!!
Cowherd definitely will not sleep this night. Boy was he ever on the Zaggs. Whew!
Nothing or no one is perfect.....idk why we still expect to see these perfect seasons 🤦🏾 but Baylor played well. Their energy and intensity was the difference maker imo. They played well for sure but that intensity is what kicked this game off and never looked back. Good job to all of the young men though...
I love watching Gonzaga play, but I think this and the semifinal show that the Zags are still far from a power-five type team. When push comes to shove, Gonzaga still comes up a bit short on the caliber of talent to match up with the big boys.
Gonzaga fans also have PTSD
Pressure bursts pipes I always said get physical with Gonzaga all game and let's see how they respond now we kno and rebounding is all about I want it more then u Aldo there coach being 0 and 8 against #1 seeds says alot
It’s about time my Baylor team won the NAACP Championship. Now I can celebrate baby!!!!!!!
Saw this coming, Baylor was a better athletic and skilled team on both sides of the ball.
Baylor shooters reminded me of myself in summer camp 04. Young buckaroos reminded me of myself.
McLane was rocking tonight
Go Baylor ncaa Champs
Zags missed a lot of Free Throws too. Great performance by Baylor.
They missed 6 of 21, not that bad! The game was decided by rebounds, second chance points, three point shooting, and turnovers! Just look at the stats sheet!
And alot of the calls was bs. Refs teyna keep their media darling in the game. While Baylor barely got any calls.
Great Day for Baylor, Waco, Vegas and Gents named Anthony
Yes!!!!
The media sounds so salty 😂😂😂
Fonz is a great sports Host, not fair very talented basketball/ sports host lol 👍👍👍
That 3 point shooting from Baylor just destroyed Gonzaga
It was the first five minutes. Gonzaga played well against top teams earlier in the year, as well as in the tournament, but they came out tight and couldn't seem to shake the jitters. Baylor took advantage and never looked back.
Go Bears Go!!!!
Offense wins games, Defense wins Championships (I’m so happy I chose Baylor to win it all.)
What’s the name of the song at 3:01?
Gonzaga lacked playmakers that could create shots against Baylor's tight perimeter defense. The ball would swing without penetration resulting in contested shots. Defensively Gonzaga had no answer to on the ball screens. They would switch the screen and everytime Timme and Watson would get handsy, reach and foul or get blown by.
You u watched Zags games when they played good teams at the beginning of season they wasnt that great on defense the reason there d number looked good by end of season is cuz the play in a conference that's super weak they gave up 90 to Kansas.. when they beat UCLA I said they dont have a chance against Baylor cuz they gave up 90 to them
Social media real quiet today lmaooo yall kept hyping Jalen Suggs for that game winner. Hopefully yall keep hyping him even after they got dominated lmao
@edwardtone i didnt say he wasn't. This was directed towards the social media gods that highly praised him only to lose. They brought up that he played football and that he was Terrell Suggs cousin. NOW yall wanna pass that info? 😂
Baylor's defense was insane.
Baylor completely dominated Gonzaga. Glad that Baylor will finally get some respect. Baylor was the better defensive team and more balanced team in this contest. Humbling defeat for Gonzaga.
Suggs said he couldn’t stop watching the UCLA game. Big mistake... he should’ve been watching footage on dem Baylor guatds
Credit to Baylor, but the Women's Championship game was super-exciting! This was a snoozer after the 1st qtr.
Baylor was just outstanding across the board. Their coach, coached them well and they executed. Every Baylor players including the beach was a star and Gonzaga didn't have an answer. With that said Baylor showed up and showed out and someone like myself have not seen Baylor took me by a surprise. The media sure know how to under estimate good talent because Baylor was not in their cards to win. Now they eating crow.🤔
The bears guard players play great defense and every coach should study this game.
This guy Bilas before the gm was running suggesting gonzaga was possibly one of the best teams ever. I'd seen them a couple times & i kept asking myself why is he lying.
IT WAS A BEAT DOWN REALLY! 5:40 Bilas.....Sic'em Bears!
This was the only bright spot in my bracket. Not that I picked Baylor but I didn't pick Gonzaga. 😂😭😄
Baylor won the battle of the boards
Somebody tell Gonzaga and Suggs that basketball is a team game.
I'm stunned that I actually picked the right team to win the national championship.
Motivation, better get on us job
Gonzaga finally played some comp. They should have loss vs UCLA. Nevertheless they got dominated by the best team in the country. I love it.
Not surprised Gonzaga lost. They tend to choke in title games. Congrats to Baylor that program has come a LONG way since that tragic incident within that program yrs back
What was the tragic incident?
@@SM-nn7dd player murder
@@joejett5084 what exactly happened
@@faizali2200 The murder of Patrick Dennehy, an American college basketball player for Baylor University, occurred on June 12, 2003, when he was shot by Baylor teammate Carlton Dotson. The murder set off a chain of events which led to the Baylor basketball scandal, in which the university's men's basketball program was investigated and punished for numerous infractions by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
@@faizali2200 Patrick James Dennehy (January 28, 1982 - June 12, 2003) was born in Santa Clara, California. He transferred to Baylor University from the University of New Mexico (UNM) following his sophomore season in 2001-2002. In the summer of 2003, after redshirting the 2002-2003 season, Dennehy was preparing to play for Baylor Bears men's basketball team in the upcoming 2003-2004 season. Carlton Dotson, a junior power forward on the team who was a friend of Dennehy's, attended North Dorchester High School in Hurlock, Maryland and Paris Junior College before transferring to Baylor in the summer of 2002, where he played one season.
This is good for Waco!
Shout out to Laphonso and Seth who actually picked Baylor before the game!!
I had my doubts, but now I'm convinced Gonzaga is the greatest college team of all time. You have to prove you can accept a loss.
Greatest choke team of all-time.
@@mauricemoton1069 Choking is a very important part of sports/ Has Baylor proven they could choke. No. Gonzaga checks all the boxes, because they're the greatest ever.
@@harrykirk7415 Uh...Baylor had 2 losses to teams that didn't make it out of the second round. Yeah. They've proven they can choke. They also proved that they are the best basketball team in the nation right now.
@@harrykirk7415 Put that crack pipe down.
@@debrahudson6324 Debra !!!
ESPN Y ARE YOU NOT COVERING THAT CHAD WHEELER STORY BUT YOU KEEP COVERING THE DESHAWN WATSON SITUATION??????????
Good morning, well I think it was a good game Baylor just jumped on them from the start. But I have a question if you guys will reply I see ESPN have replayed the women championship game over and over again starting the next day. Why haven’t the men’s championship game haven’t been played? Someone answer that for me. I love you guys show but something don’t add up to me. Thanks 🙏
Tom Clay, maybe it's because CBS (not ESPN) broadcast the men's championship game. CBS is not an all-sports network.
Yes I do know what CBS is and you right it's not a sport's channel nor net work but 212 replay all games just like they did the super bowl.I am just saying be fair about the whole thing no matter who wins. we know what time it is in this world. but thank you for your reply anyway and on top of that they steal haven't play the game and you just played the super bowl again last week. oh that was Tom Brady playing right?
Can you imagine the mitchell bros on the same team?
Baylor destroyed Houston, they they destroyed Gonzaga... WOW!
That thumbnail expresses My concern in this manner
That was TOUGH
Not surprising they got most of their wins against lesser conference opponents.
So much for the Suggs hype, died down real quick didn't it
ESPN puts him 3rd in the NBA DRAFT. Davion Mitchell And Butler 16th and 26th... And you were saying what....??
No excuse.. Baylor came out swinging and they played very fast and physical ..
A Big 12 vs a WCC, what else did you expect.
Really Baylor should have been the undefeated team that also won the championship.
Probably would have been if it wasn't for that COVID pause for like...a month.
Naw them boys played street ball
