I think the value is with Gonzaga in the national championship game.
Gonzaga 1h -2, to win 2 units
Gonzaga struggled against a strong UCLA defense and UCLA took Gonzaga out of rhythm by slowing the tempo and running the shot clock down, but Baylor has been an up tempo team all year.
These teams have 1 day between the final four and the national championship game so its unlikely any major game plans will be put in, and Baylor has played fast all year. Few's teams have always been built around 3 point shooting and guard play, and Gonzaga has always been much better in up tempo games.
Baylor obviously is strong, but their offense still depends heavily on Mitchell, with Butler not being on the same level as him. Gonzaga is the more balance offense with 4 strong guards and Timme's inside scoring.
Baylor has good size up front, but their frontline doesn't score much and Baylor relies on their backcourt for nearly all of their scoring.
The first half should be the faster tempo and Gonzaga's only weakness is lack of strong depth, but their offense is balance enough they should be fine.
