How is Baylor the favorite in only four states? They’ve looked every bit as great as Gonzaga. In fact, they might even have looked better through the squad’s first two games.
Baylor’s athleticism is unreal, and that was on full display against the Wisconsin Badgers.

I don’t understand at all how Michigan is such a popular pick. Of all the top seeds remaining, I’d put them as a distant third behind Gonzaga and Baylor.
Clearly, the rest of America must know something that I don’t.

As I’ve said before, I’m all in on Loyola at this point, and I think most of you should be too if your team is out.
What’s not to love about them? They’re the scrappy underdog and they have Sister Jean! They’re a fun team to rally behind.
