ANAHEIM, Calif. - Baylor coach Scott Drew knows more about the NCAA West Region finals Saturday that most -- because he’s lived the matchup everybody is talking about.
His Baylor team played Texas Tech twice during the Big 12’s regular season. And the Bears were eliminated by Gonzaga in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Now Tech and Gonzaga are meeting with a Final Four bid on the line.
Drew says it’s a matter of which team can do what it does best.
“Texas Tech has one of the best defenses, if not the best defense in the nation,” Drew said Friday in a phone interview.
