NCAA National Championship: Monday April 5

[DilemaCuse]

If we had that Baylor guard we would be top 5 next year.

which one? lol

all 3, Mitchell, Butler, Teague are good

 

[bpo57]

How many thousands did you put on baylor tonight?

You're asking the wrong guy.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Gonzaga, filled with nba draft picks and all Americans, doesnt lose a single game all year until the title game against the best shooting team in the country, and a team that was top 3 all season whose only slight downturn was after a Covid pause...

Gonzaga are frauds

 

[Cusefan0307]

Lol people thinking Gonzaga are frauds. They are in the title game.

Yeah and not for nothing it’s the same sht that was said about Syracuse and JB until 2003.

 

[DilemaCuse]

big muscualr centers and quick athletic gaurds who can shoot = it isnt rocket science

makes you wonder about JBs evaluation and formula
skinny and slow most of the time

Flagler ain't too bad either. Transfer from Presbyterian. Yeah that powerhouse.

 

[UpstateSM]

Flagler ain't too bad either. Transfer from Presbyterian. Yeah that powerhouse.

Teague and Flagler are both Big South transfers. And Carlik Jones from Louisville.

The talent evaluation in that league is unreal.

 

[Alsacs]

Ggaenzle is going to win the bracket challenge.

If I didn’t screw up the East region badly I coulda won.

 

[CardiacCuse]

How many thousands did you put on baylor tonight?

haha zero...but I woulda picked them.

 

[JDubbin]

I was confident that Baylor would win tonight (based on some of what I saw from the Gonzaga vs. UCLA game)... but not like this. Baylor brought a beatdown to the game.

 

[skurey]

I bet Gonzaga against my buddy and paid him in the 1st half for the most hardcore attempt at a reverse jinx I could ever imagine.

Didn't work.

 

[syrBossHogg]

Between the Super Bowl and this game, is this the year the underdog kicks the crap out of the favorite?

 

[690West]

haha zero...but I woulda picked them.

I wish I did. Ugh

 

[skurey]

Tthat 35 kid is a jerk for stealing that

 

[dasher]

it isn't like there is a store you can go to and you get to pick the center you want. Those guys that are cut, everyone wants them.

 

[CardiacCuse]

It’s as dumb of an argument as calling our final four in 2016 a fluke cause MSU lost.

all im saying is they had an easy path. it was objectively easy...even their "hard" teams were pac12 squads...

they beat up on teams in november december and coasted the rest of the way vs scrubs...

good team...but no juggernaut.

 

[UpstateSM]

Might be the two best teams in the country again next season

 

[albanycuse]

From murder to national champions . Congratulations. Anything is possible.

 

[Jasoncuse]

which one? lol

They play 4 guards 20+ minutes a game - having that flexibility and scoring prowess is crazy.

 

[Orangezoo]

They shoot great, they pass great, and their bigs are physical on defense and perform their role on offense. They have great personnel this season.

I love how quickly they get their shots up. It makes it so much easier for the big guys to hit the boards. Quick passing, quick shooting and everyone knows their role.

 

[bpo57]

Those three guards are long gone imo.

 

[djcon57]

not saying the result would be different at all, but would have been interesting if UCLA got a crack at them with how their offense was clicking and Cronin‘s plan on D.

 

[orangedave]

The first game between these two getting canceled was the best thing to happen to Gonzaga.

If Baylor smoked them early in the year, which they likely would have, the narrative would have been another close but not quite Gonzaga team.

Instead they were a juggernaut all year, and Gonzaga had risen to another level.

Gonzaga is obviously excellent, but that game not happening has had a big impact on Gonzaga’s image.

Suppose Gonzaga had won that game? Certainly could have happened. Just because Baylor smoked them tonight doesn't mean the same results earlier.

They lose by 25.
