They need to change the water supply or something up in Spokane. Few has quite a few good players but Baylor had the athletes who could also play the game. Made the Gonzaga players look like elementary school kids the first couple minutes of the game. I am beginning to wonder what is so great about Few. All of these NCAA appearances and no national championship and really not that many Final four appearances.
JMHO, In recent years Gonzaga has been a very good team; however, they are usually over rated due to their won/loss record*, i.e. this year they were undefeated up until the final game. They are the far superior team in a 2nd tier conference. Yeah, they did beat Iowa, Kansas, Auburn, West Virginia, and Virginia; but (other than Virginia who were no where close to their 2019 Championship team) none of these teams were the top team in their respective conferences this year, etc. I seriously doubt that Gonzaga could have gone undefeated in the B1G this year playing a 20 game conference schedule. They probably would have been a legitimate contender; but would likely have ended up with 2 to 4 conferences losses.
* Hell, before the championship game CBS Sports was hyping them as one of the greatest teams of all time regardless if they beat Baylor or not:
Gonzaga is a win away from undefeated immortality, but already deserves to be placed among the greatest teams
The 31-0 Zags are trying to become the first undefeated team since 1975-76 Indiana, but have already shown their greatness
Gonzaga does not need to beat Baylor to secure a highly perched place in college basketball history.
Championship games understandably carry considerable weight; they are the arbiters of a season. Yet: a single result should not overrun nor overshadow, in Gonzaga's case, an accumulation of 31 wins by an average of 22.4 points. These undefeated Bulldogs are storybook as is. The Jesuit school tucked away in Spokane, Washington, out of the West Coast Conference, a once-plucky outfit with the quirky-sounding name that always showed up in the bracket.
