Gonzaga seems good.

What's up with USC? Gonzaga plays twice has hard as they do.

Gonzaga seems good.

This whole tournament-
Me watching Baylor: They can hang with the Zags.
Me watching Gonzaga: No they can’t.

 

[Cyched]

This seems lopsided

How many teams have even given Gonzaga a game this year? Based on final scores, I'd say West Virginia and maybe BYU in the WCC final and that's it. They have literally run roughshod over CBB this year.

I like the way Gonzaga doesn't care what sort of defense you think you're going to run.

I am really looking forward to USC Gonzaga because I think USC has the athletes to hang with the Zags. The key to beating Gonzaga is not turning the ball over and getting Timme in foul trouble because their bigs aren't great behind him and the Mobley's could feast in the paint. Also E. Mobley v. Kispert is intriguing. That is a lot of length he has to shoot over. I still think Gonzaga wins but I think it will be close.
Still not sure what to think about UCLA. I keep thinking they will get exposed and keep getting it wrong.

Welp, that went south in a hurry. I was hoping the Trojans would at least be able to hang with them. At least they made it to the Elite 8 and have a bright future.

Gonzaga is their own tier.

 

[madguy30]

Gonzaga's defense is so hostile I even got frustrated.

 

[Neptune78]

If tonight is any indication, Suggs would have to be in contention for the #1 pick.

I think it went more northwesterly.

I'm thinking Timmes should be NPOY.

He's got obvious talent around him but he still makes it go.

 

[cyclones500]

I think a key for USC to get back in it is to go on an 18-0 run.

Hot take: Gonzaga us good at Basketball

Timme is my new favorite player in college basketball. The guys a baller and then blows kisses and hand gestures to the crowd after every basket.

Plus I like saying Timmmmaaaaayyyyyyyy

He's really good but each time I watch him I think he could be even better. He always misses a few bunnies and has gotten some foul issues quite often. It'll be really interesting to see if Garza gets it or him. Garza is probably a bit better, but Timme has so many other guys around him that are really good that he doesn't have to do quite as much each night.

He is fun to watch but he also has the swagger of a 70s porn star so it's easy to look at him as a douche.

It seemed like Enfield was on the hot seat for 5 straight years but after 8 years there (really long patience by USC standards) he seems to have them doing really well (absent this game).

Garza has more scoring volume obviously and carried the team on his back, but can't move his feet or pass or defend and should have been in foul trouble often from what I saw.
