[DefenseBB]

Match of the WCC titans! Should be good with I think more urgency for BYU as Gonzaga is in the NCAAT regardless of the outcome. Where's Creme and his bubble predictions, I may have to root for BYU depending where a certain Irish Green team is currently residing visa vi the bubble?

 

[MSGRET]

Want BYU to win, that way two teams from the WCC get in and it should help kick Miss St out and keep ND from getting in.

 

[ConnecticutBB]

Will be rooting for BYU.

 

[JellyBean]

Cheering on Gonzaga. Fun and exciting program to watch out in the West.

 

[Baylor1994]

I like both teams so I’ll be happy with either results

As an aside, BYU MBB alum Tyler Haws has been sharing BYU tv's in-studio WCC WBB coverage.

Zags have 6 players hit with intestinal flu and the normal starters have not started and may come off the bench, if they can.?

 

[SimpleDawg]

Never knew the West Coast played so physically. Should tune in more I guess.

10-8 BYU end of first

That's a tough break. Bummer.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Same 2 schools are playing for the men's championship later today.

 

[ochoopsfan]

Halftime score is BYU 22 Zags 13.
Zags had one basket, a 3 ptr and 2FT's, in the 2nd qtr, and are still in the game.

 

[SimpleDawg]

The West Coast playing better defense than Vic Schaefer in the late 2010s. 13 points?? Somebody go get me BYU's playbook.

Explains why one of the Wirth twins isn't playing.

And may explain shooting woes of Zags as Troung twins are 1 of 9, the Wirth playing is 1 for 9 and Townsend is 0 for 2.

Stomach flu?

 

[ochoopsfan]

Stomach flu?

Yes, Intestinal Flu. Nothing related to Covid or anything else, per announcers.

Mississippi State's tournament hopes slightly saved by a buzzer beater shot with .6 seconds left.

Congratulations.

 

[Gamecockfan77]

Buzzer beater!

Zags win at the buzzer.

 

[Baylor1994]

Wow! Heartbreak for BYU! I secretly wanted them to win so Notre dame can get the boot

 

[azfan]

OMG! Jill Townsend....the legend continues!

Watched the 2nd half, and have to give credit to Gonzaga, they gutted it out, even being sick.

Nope. Not so fast. Wright State won today as well, so two #1's through. Way to go, Zags and Flyers.
(and this is said by a fan who is not entirely sure ND would be better off being one and done in the NCAA's, playing in the WNIT or just getting ready for next year). You just got my Irish up...
