Expert Picks and Predictions for the 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship Game Between the Baylor Bears and the Gonzaga Bulldogs

College  Football News – Pete Fiutak : Gonzaga

Pete Fiutak of College Football News offered his insight about the upcoming Baylor-Gonzaga NCAA Tournament national championship game on Monday, providing a case for why each of these two teams will win. Fiutak likes Baylor’s ability to shoot the ball. The Bears surely can drain those long balls, as they are the best outside-shooting team in the nation, making over 40 percent of their 3-point shots. But Fiutak also doesn’t think Baylor can keep up with Gonzaga’s firepower. Fiutak believes the Bulldogs will get the job done and finish the season as an undefeated national champion in an 84-77 win.

Sporting News – Bill Bender : Gonzaga

Bill Bender of Sporting News published a detailed overview of the upcoming titanic matchup between Baylor and Gonzaga. He noted each team’s key players. For Baylor, it’s the usual suspects — the trio of Davion Mitchell, MaCio Teague, and Jared Butler. For Gonzaga, it’s basically the team’s entire starting unit in Drew Timme, Corey Kispert, Jalen Suggs, Joel Ayayi, and Andrew Nembhard. Bender is particularly intrigued by the matchup of Suggs and Mitchell, both electric guards, who can score and play great defense. It’s going to be close match for Bender, with him predicting the Bulldogs to come away with an 85-81 victory.
