Baylor Bears +4.5. Quick turnaround for Gonzaga after pulling out the overtime win on Saturday nigh to UCLA. Bulldogs surrendered 58% shooting to the Bruins and lost the rebounding battle by eight boards. Gonzaga below average from three connecting 7 of 21. Must be impressed with Baylor’s path to the Finals winning plus covering against Wisconsin, Villanova, Arkansas and then a 19 point win to Houston. Against a strong Cougars defense the Bears shot 53% from the floor along with 11 of 24 from three. They held Houston to only 38%. In the NCAA Tournament, Baylor is limiting opponents to 42% shooting and 27.8% from three. Tad bit better than Gonzaga. Bears come from the strong conference and made 42% from three and 54% inside the arc against the Big 12. They are very-strong on the offensive glass. Play Baylor +4.5.
