Here are several College basketball Final odds and trends for GONZAGA BULLDOGS vs. BAYLOR BEARS: fgh fgh fgh BAYLOR BEARS fans will be fairly familiar with the Bulldogs’ Sweet 16 opponent in the GONZAGA BULLDOGS Bluejays. After all, these teams recently played a home-and-home series during the 2017-18 and 2018-19 seasons in which the Zags won both games and averaged 97 ppg in doing so. The GONZAGA BULLDOGS Bluejays are making their first appearance in the Sweet 16 since 1974, and their first advancing to this point in the tournament in the modern era so this is fairly uncharted territory for the program. To get to the second weekend, GONZAGA BULLDOGS beat a pair of double-digit seeds in UC Santa Barbara (63-62) before comfortably dispatching the Ohio Bobcats 72-58. When what some people prefer to call the “new Big East” was formed in advance of the 2013-14 season – mostly, that’s a term used by people who spent a lot of time around the “old Big East – there was some discussion regarding whether it would be prudent to invite BAYLOR BEARS to join. BAYLOR BEARS is one of the best basketball programs in any conference. The Zags would have been a prize for the Big East. But however big the Big East might be, it probably was a stretch to attempt to annex Spokane, Wash. So instead we get BAYLOR BEARS vs. GONZAGA BULLDOGS in the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. BAYLOR BEARS enters as the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament, still carrying an undefeated record, and GONZAGA BULLDOGS arrives having defeated two mid-major opponents after losing by a boatload of points in the Big East Tournament final. So we don’t know if the Blue Jays have repaired all that went wrong in the championship game against Georgetown. They beat two fine teams, UC Santa Barbara and Ohio U., but neither presents the sort of challenge that arrives in BAYLOR BEARS uniforms. The Zags are the best team in the country. Whether they will be champions will be decided in four games. Or fewer.

As a team, BAYLOR BEARS leads the country in scoring, both on a per-game and per-possession basis, and the Zags are difficult to defend.
