So tired of Gonzaga

[Millhouse]

They keep getting great seeds and do nothing with it (one final four/nc game right?).

It's cause Few isn't that good.

 

[moqui]

i get what you're saying but on the other hand 5 straight tournaments getting to the second weekend or better; 15-5 over that stretch. that is a great run

 

[jncuse]

They have played at or above their seed line for 5 consecutive years (before today). They have actually been a very solid tournament team the previous 5 years.

Before 2014, it was not good in tournaments, and that stink has lingered. But its not that accurate anymore.

 

[upperdeck]

seeding skews how good teams are in the end.. the reward for a good season in a bad league. but they were a solid team

 

[Newhouser]

Their PG may be the least likeable player I've seen in years.

you just know if syracuse ever lost behind a bonehead technical like that, most of the blame here would be on the hc's head

 

[Orangemen]

They're clearly good, but I've had enough of hearing about their amazing stats.

Of course they score a ton of points during the year. Of course they have a high FG percentage. Their league is awful.

 

[hoopsupstate]

They are a good team and just got beat by a better team today. They were deserving of a number one seed. UNC got blown out. Should they not have been a number one seed? I wouldn’t be surprised if both Duke and Virginia lose too.

Syracuse only has one championship to show for it. That's not a road I'd travel down.

He’s a little punky. He’s out of control and is pretty loose with the ball. He lets his emotion get the best of him at times.

infinitely more than gonzaga

 

[Alsacs]

Gonzaga got beat by a damn good team in Texas Tech.
They are a damn good program.
No shame losing to Texas Tech.
I thought they had the best team but Texas Tech was truly a special team.

sweet 16 or beyond 5x in a row
syracuse has never made it 3x in a row

 

[shermstheman]

Seeing them lose tonight reminds me of when Adam Morrisons team went down. Bryant Gumbles line on Gus is priceless— gotta watch to the end

 

[skurey]

BATISTA WITH THE CAAAAAAAATCH

 

[HoustonCuse]

I too am tired of the largely unwarranted hype about Gonzaga but this team seemed pretty legit and that 11 seeded team we played against in 2016 didn’t seem like a typical 11 seed, more like a 5. I still am darn glad we are undefeated against them though!

Sounds like Kansas most years

 

[Millhouse]

big friggin deal, easy when you get an unwarranted high seed every year

i got reamed for thinking it was ridiculous that morrison started weeping with approximately 12 minutes to go in the first half

 

[skurey]

They beat Duke at full strength lol

Love Mark Few. He’s one of the great guys in the game. Feel bad for Gonzaga.

You just described Kansas as well.

Gonzaga is legit. They didn’t play like garbage and choke. They got beat in a tight game against a really good team.
This isn’t the NBA where it’s best of 7 and the better team wins.
Gonzaga is one of the best teams in the nation.

We did lose one like that; Moten (?) technical vs Arkansas for calling a timeout when none were left.

And I don’t believe anyone blamed that on the HC.
It was on Moten.
