Trash call

Agrees

I don't think they need to do a live cut-away to Cronin every 47 seconds.

 

[Acylum]

This is a pleasant surprise so far.

 

[madguy30]

It will be interesting to see if Gonzaga is able to assert themselves in the 2nd half to get their rhythm back.

If not I like UCLA to pull it off.

Huh?

Unless one is one of a select few posters.

He is not easy on the eyes

It’s the old Tim Floyd strategy against better teams- the longer you keep it close the more the pressure builds on them.

UCLA is a great story but damn I want a Gonzaga-Baylor championship

 

[HoopsTournament]

If Gonzaga wins, it will be the first time since 2010 that two private schools play each other in the championship game and the 6th time overall:

2010: Duke vs. Butler
1985: Villanova vs. Georgetown
1955: La Salle vs. San Francisco
1954: La Salle vs. Bradley
1942: Stanford vs. Dartmouth

You'll get it.

Just glad this has been close (so far). Wouldn't have wanted to watch two blowouts

Yep, lots of stop-gap in how the game's going.

UCLA looks like they just enjoy harassing anyone with the ball and they've got the size and speed to stick around.

Lots of bunnies and close shots rimming out for Gonzaga. They're not comfortable.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Part of me wants UCLA to win, part of me wants Gonzaga to win and part of me wants Baylor to win.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

UCLA winning it all would be one for the history books.

 

[NENick]

UCLA really handled the press.

 

[Cyched]

UCLA winning it all would be one for the history books.

If that happens, they'll have beaten:

Alabama
Michigan
Gonzaga
Baylor

Tournament can be a crapshoot sometimes, but it'd be hard to argue they didn't earn it.

 

[Tornado man]

Gonzaga - and Few - are waaay overrated.

 

[Cyched]

Seems like Gonzaga has turned up the heat. Don't know if UCLA can withstand it.

Part of you is going to be happy!

 

[Cyched]

Part of you is going to be happy!

But the other 2/3 of him will be pissed
