If Baylor and Gonzaga played in a 3 or 5 game series it’s fairly clear from Baylor beating Gonzaga by 16-points, 86-70, (by 10-points in the first half; 6-points in the second half) in the Bational Clamoonship game that Gonzaga would likely have beaten Baylor in any series.

As Baylor had 11 more offensive rebounds and committed 6 less turnovers than Gonzaga. Such resulted in Baylor taking 18 more fga’s than Gonzaga did. Not likely that Gonzaga HC Few could make any significant adjustments that would change those numbers.

Moreover, Gonzaga shot as well as it could in the Baylor game. Gonzaga had no chance to beat Baylor as Baylor’s guards were to quick to the hoop, were excellent three-point shooters, and better defenders of the three-ball.

Gonzaga is an excellent team, but not nearly as good as Baylor. For me, just watching the game and ignoring stats proved that.

Agree with your analysis as to why EMU should schedule good teams in non-conference play. .
