College Bball Thread

Damn, 2 minutes left in a blowout and some guy from Baylor deflected a pass, flew past the Gonzaga bench to save it, came back on, then tried to block a 3 at the opposite corner. I yearn for someone on a team I root for to show that kind of effort.

Wonder if the 76 team had their cigars lit

How about Kansas, UVA, Iowa, W. Virginia and another top team I can't remember off the top of my head

What about them? Those games took place in November and December. Gonzaga didn’t play anyone good for nearly three months after that. They barely beat 11 seed UCLA and then got thoroughly dominated by Baylor. They just weren’t prepared for a team this good.

Gonzaga, unbeaten no more

As Coach Knight would say “You’re goddam right they did.”

How is Boroski in the middle of so many obvious bad calls? Good grief.

How was he picked to ref the final game????

You said they hadn't been tested all year and I disagree because they played a tough non conference  schedule

Zags were good all year.  I don’t care they got beat in the last one.  No matter what conference they would of played in they were one of the 2 best teams all year.

They were supposed to play Baylor in the regular season but got canceled because of covid.

[Uspshoosier 45,027]

Two things can be true: 1. @BaylorMBB was the best team in the @FinalFour, likely all season when 100 percent healthy; 2. @ZagMBB had a remarkable season at 31-1.

The same Iowa team we swept? Virginia was mediocre this year in a very down year for the ACC so yea, in the beginning on the season they played W Virginia and played well...that was 5 months ago...did you have a point or just being a contrarian? Is that you case that they played an adequate schedule to prepare themselves for this game?

[Brass Cannon 24,222]

Game proves something I said all year. Regardless of how good you are.  If you spot the opposition a 12 point lead by failing to show up you kneecap yourself. Good teams hold those leads

They played an OK non-conference schedule. It was only tough in comparison to their conference schedule.

Their non-conf SOS was 112th. IU's by comparison was 73rd.
