Can we talk about UCLA acting like there was no time left and not picking up anyone defensively after their bucket?

Im guessing those 2 will match up. Baylor is one of the better defensive teams in recent years. They have 2 bigs they can rotate and throw at Timme. Timme has been having his way, tomorrow night he will not look nearly as good. Im guessing Mayer will play a lot to guard Kispert. Kispert is a weak defender and Baylor could go 4 guard lineup. think Baylor is the better overall team.
Wasn't laettners shot was closer but they had to
Throw it 3/4 of the court to get it to him and Duke was down one so was more do or die pressure there.
I didn't watch the game last night but it was tied so there wasn't pressure to absolutely have to make this shot. Game flow can make it more interesting too.

Last night's game was tied and I would agree with you that knocks it down a peg. Still a big time shot and a great game. When UCLA got down by 5 with about 1:30 left, they could have easily panicked and started chucking but they ran their offense, got a stop and then we're able to tie it up.

I was thinking of games off the top of my head and those are what came to mind. You're right that a few don't measure up to last nights game, but I would definitely put the '15 Wisconsin-Kentucky redux and the '99 UConn-Duke championship game alongside last night. I do tend to to err on the side of not falling into the recency bias trap, so maybe I'm not giving last nights game enough credit. Maybe time will change my mind.
Like a couple others already mentioned, Laettner's shot stands above Suggs' because it was win or lose all on his shot. If Suggs misses they go to another OT.
Yeah, they all ran back instead of putting pressure on to make sure Suggs or anyone else catches the pass going back to the baseline, and make him turn a time or two coming up the court. Suggs was able to step into a really good look because of that.
I think this is all pretty accurate, and Baylor wins. Gonzaga is a 4.5 point favorite, if I was in Vegas I'd probably put a couple bills down on Baylor.
The fact that it was an 11 seed almost ruining a perfect season is what elevates it, IMO...
