GONZAGA-BAYLOR PLAYER PROPS

DREW TIMME, 21.5 POINTS, OVER (-113)

Drew Timme is just an unbelievable scorer around the basket. I think you can make the argument that he is a more talented post scorer than Luka Garza. He’s ridiculous at using angles to create passing lanes and he has perfected the ability to finish off the glass with either hand, regardless of the defense that is being played on him. And while Baylor is a great defensive team, they don’t have elite rim protection and none of their three bigs are built to stop Timme in the post. Throw in the fact that Gonzaga plays with three point guards, and I think the ability of Baylor to neutralize their half-court offensive with ball pressure will be somewhat limited. I think Timme gets 30.

JARED BUTLER, 16.5 POINTS, OVER (+105)

In today’s matchup breakdown, I discussed how important Everyday Jon is to Baylor’s ability to operate out of ball-screens, and how much difficulty I think Gonzaga will have defending that. I expect the Zags to defend Baylor’s ball-screens similarly to the way that they defended UCLA’s: By using Drew Timme to hedge hard on the ball, use a weak-side tagger to try and take away the roller, and dare Baylor to make those cross-court skip passes to the weak side of the floor. This is a risk because it could end up leaving the shooter wide-open. That’s what happened on Saturday, and Butler made Houston pay. I think he will on Monday night as well.

JALEN SUGGS, 5.5 ASSISTS, OVER (+100)
ANDREW NEMBHARD, 4.5 ASSISTS, OVER (-143)

Baylor’s no-middle defense can be beaten by teams that have big guards that can make probing, baseline drives that forces Baylor into rotation and then pick out a pass. Gonzaga starts three guards that are point guards by trade and are all 6-foot-4 or taller. They can run the offense through someone that isn’t being guarded by Davion Mitchell, and I think they will succeed. If they are going to win, which I think they will, it will be because these drives create shots.
