B1G/NCAA basketball

[THE_WIZARD_]

The Zags cannot stop Baylor...just too athletic...

Also, the first Suggs foul is what is wrong with NCAA basketball. These refs love to call charges, that was nowhere near a charge, Suggs gets a stupid cheapie for his second could and you get to watch a backup for 10 minutes.

UNC already hired Hubert Davis today. They have a tendency to stay in the "family".

I thought the first one was cheap but the second one was a dumb play on his part. Lazy reach in while the guy had a step on him.

, he has to know betterOh yeah the second one was.stupid, Suggs got away with one later in then half when he pushed the guy before taking the ball to the rack.

Kisoert on the beach may be a blessing, he has been hot garbage this weekend.

This is why I said a month ago that if Gonzaga played in the Big Ten (or the usual ACC or Big 12), they would just be one of the guys. And by “one of the guys”, I’m talking about teams that were still 1 or 2 seeds in the tourney. But they all had between 4-8 losses...and so would have the Zags. SO happy that they won’t be the first team in 45 years to go undefeated. In the Big Ten we call a game like this “Wednesday”.

I wanted Gonzaga to win, they have been a good program for 20 years and they schedule a lot of tough games outside of conference but Baylor was the better team tonight. And they probably would have won 7 out of 10 times.

[froot loops]

But yeah, maybe the Zags would have been one of the guys in the Big Ten but that isn't saying much about the Big Ten. Nobody in the conference has won a title in 21 years.

[Mike]

I’m talking about the day in, day out, grind of a major conference schedule. If a P5 team runs the table, then hats off to them. But I didn’t want to see it happen to a team that goes on the road to play University of the Pacific while UM, MSU, OSU go to play Iowa, Illinois, or Wisconsin.

[froot loops]

Yeah I guess, I've heard that argument a lot, I just didn't give a rip about the undefeated record so it didn't bother me. I find college basketball too haughty and hokey anyways, the tournament is fun but the NBA is far superior because stuff like that is irrelevant.

The Zags were a really good team. How they would have done in the B1G is speculation but I'm guessing they would have done very well and probably won the league. Undefeated no. But they were a really good and fundamentally sound team. Baylor was extremely athletic and before the season started was garnering lots of preseason pub to be #1...they had a long spell with no games because of Covid and lost some of their mystique...I really thought the Zags skills would overcome the Bears athleticism but that obviously didn't happen. Congrats to Baylor.

Then it’s settled. Fuck Gonzaga forever, those stupid overrated POSs.

[froot loops]

They were definitely the best team this year. I came away less impressed with Gonzaga after these last two games, very good team but they looked slow. Tonight may have been an aberration because they maybe had dead legs and Baylor shot the lights out early, but the UCLA game was a warning sign. They looked slow in that game and UCLA is not that good.

I believe Michigan, at full strength, was as good as all four teams in the FF, and could have beaten all of them.

Gonzaga would not have been undefeated in the B1G. Neither would Baylor. UCLA was no better than the middle 5 of the Big Ten.
