Men's Final Four

[RocketDawg]

Tuned in the Houston/Baylor game and Houston was behind by 20. Turned away, then came back and looks like the intermission entertainment is Miley Cyrus. She's actually pretty good - don't think I've ever heard her sing before, just heard about her antics. She's doing a cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass" at the moment - she's not quite as good as Blondie.

Can 11 UCLA beat 1 Gonzaga? I doubt it, but it would be a huge upset.

That was the most embarrassing thing I have seen in a long time.. and I wasn’t referring to the beat down Baylor gave Houston

[RocketDawg]

UCLA is hanging with them early on. Presumably Gonzaga has more depth and talent though, so it won't last long.

[Saltydog]

UCLA is playing extremely well thus far and shooting well. I will say this though, Gonzaga's offense is a thing of beauty. They move the ball so well and the ball doesn't stay in anyones hands too long. Very refreshing to watch after seeing Howland's stagnant "o". A damn zombie could guard our guys.

[RocketDawg]

Neither team is shooting free throws very well. Just like us for most of the year.

Hard to believe UCLA was only an 11 seed.

[msstate7]

Let me preface with I hate both of these teams, so I'm not biased. These announcers are praising every basket by Gonzaga while every UCLA basket is sort of an afterthought. It is clear who they want to win

Gonzaga has morphed into the Alabama of basketball in the 21st century as far as announcer support goes.

[Bulldog1]

What a game...

[RocketDawg]

Best game I've seen in a loooooong time. Can't believe the ending.

[Rex54]

Baylor wins Monday night.

[ZedFedder]

What a freaking game.

[LC Dawg]

That was an awesome game.

Thankful I miss crap like that. Sounds cringe worthy.

[Saltydog]

Dang....Best game I've seen in years......UCLA underperformed all year if they were an eleven seed because they have some players......

[KB21]

Hell of a game! That?s one of the best games I?ve seen since Duke Kentucky 1992.

[Commercecomet24]

Hell of a game! That?s one of the best games I?ve seen since Duke Kentucky 1992.

Agreed. That duke/uk maybe the best basketball game Ive ever watched but this was a dang good one too!

[Dawg_Lover]

Both teams played their hearts out for 45 minutes, and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Who do y?all think will win Monday, and why?

[Saltydog]

I'd like to see Gonzaga win but personally, I think Baylor is better defensively and more athletic and will win. With that said, it certainly wouldn't surprise me to see Gonzaga win. Both of these teams are extremely well coached.

Agreed both teams left it all on the court. I'm pulling for Gonzaga but Baylor is dang good. Should be a great game!

[smootness]

Gonzaga by about 10.

[Dawg_Lover]

Thanks everybody. Appreciate the insight. Still trying to decide who to pull for. Thinking I just may have to pull for the ?little guy? university wise, Gonzaga. Tomorrow?s the day, then next weekend, The Masters. Yay! This year is flying.

Everyone have a very nice Easter!

[msstate7]

I'd take those 10 points. I think Baylor outright

Yeah and UCLA was the play in game too. That will be a trivia question one day.

Not a big Miley fan but she is pretty good. It wasn't as bad a scene as I thought it would be either.

True, in the absence of UK, UNC, Duke, Kansas where else does the media cling to?

Im sure if CBH had Timmie at the 5 and Suggs at the 2 our offense would look a bit different...
But any chance to throw a CBH sucks take in is about par for the course.

[Ari Gold]

So what if Nantz and the boys give a little more love to the Zags.. they are in fact undefeated and on the cusp of doing something that hasn’t been done in almost 40 years..
Much better than Vitale giving hand jobs to Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, UNC, Mich State.. and then swallowing Coach K

What a freshening final four
Zags, UCLA, Houston, Baylor.

Too bad the college football playoffs aren’t as entertaining

Agree.. it’s the greatest 3-4 weeks in sports period.
March madness , baseball opening day and week and The Masters..

[Saltydog]

It wouldn't matter because with Howland it's lather, rinse, repeat.......The more things change, the more they stay the same.......

[Rex54]

Baylor wins Monday night.

Looking good

[Dawg_Lover]

Whew ... Baylor defense was like somebody stomped on a fire ant hill ... they were everywhere!
Hopefully Zags can recover.

They done.

[msstate7]

No one can take that west coast conference championship from them though.

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

Baylor?s defense is unreal. They have been in the Zags ass all night.

The difference in physicality is the difference. It's the reason I called Baylor outright. Gonzaga is a finesse team, and Baylor is just way too tough for them

True. Props to Baylor, for the win. And props to Gonzaga for a great season.

[Commercecomet24]

Baylors spacing on offense is a thing of beauty, wish we could add some of that to our offense.

[StarkVegasSteve]

The main difference was athleticism. Baylor literally just ran iso for the two guards all night and Gonzaga had absolutely no answer for it. They couldn't stay in front of Baylor at any point in the game.

Yep I agree. After 4-5 min, I said this game is over. Once the on ball D broke down is was open shot where ever they wanted it. On other end, same thing - Baylor beat them to their spot every time.

Zags got too much press from OT win and they were also spent (kinda like WBB did with Uconn that year). Zags couldn't beat Baylor this year, plain and simple.

[R2Dawg]

Another interesting note. 5 times 1 vs 2 in NC game. #2 has won them all.
