The dream matchup is finally here!
Check below for a breakdown of Monday’s national title game:
Gonzaga/Baylor
This is the game that the world wanted to see. Gonzaga is coming off one of the most dramatic NCAA Tournament games in history on Saturday against UCLA while Baylor dominated Houston from tip to finish. For the Bears to win the national title, they’re going to have to limit the Bulldogs’ opportunities in transition just as the Bruins did on Saturday. Baylor is also going to have to be efficient offensively. UCLA proved that in order to have a chance to beat Gonzaga, you have to be able to trade baskets. Baylor had 23 assists on 29 made field goals versus Houston. In addition to stellar defense, the Bears will need an elite offensive showing in order to beat the Bulldogs and win a national title.
