Complaining that a 9 seed is in the tourney is laughable and an obvious shot at the program.

The fact that he is given this platform affects perceptions.

I stand by my original statement.

I think the other studio people hate him. He should be running the selection process because he knows everything and everyone else is a moron. Also, he changes his tune constantly and is very inconsistent and of course has to take a shot at UCONN when they were not really in the discussion.

What was up with the supposed microphone trouble he was having? It seemed fine to me but then they cut away. Strange.

 

[hooskies]

saying he's anti-UConn is laughable...he had us in his final four to start the year...obviously disappointed with their play...as are we..

 

[jorge34]

what did he say

 

[jrazz12]

Well he just picked Iowa St, so....

 

[babysheep]

He's like Diet Jim Rome

 

[Tenspro2002]

Can't really disagree with his analysis -- they hit 3's and we can't defend 3's.

We struggle to get to 60 points; if ISU hits 10 3's, that's half the points they need.

 

[huskyniner]

He advised Roscoe Smith, on television, to decommit from the program following the NIT season. That is all.

 

[UCweCONN]

He's pro-UCONN. He's just as disappointed in them as we are.....

Put the crack pipe down.

He was talking about one of the other teams, and said "if the committee held how they finished against them, why didn't they hold it against UConn how they finished?"

I'd counter-argue that we were missing our coach for a big chunk of it, and our finish did include three losses to one of the top teams in the country. Fair enough, it also included a loss to Providence, but you can't compare "record in last 10 games" without looking at who the teams are playing. Drexel wouldn't have finished 10-0 in their last 10 if they had to play Syracuse three times.

We can't get bent out of shape with anyone who picks Iowa State. It is an 8-9 game, so either team should have a good chance, by logic. And his point is legitimate that they can cause us match-up problems with the way they shoot the three. Iowa State is good, and every time you start looking at one of those great match-ups in another bracket, it always seems like the lesser marquee team gets the win and ruins it.

LOL, perfect

 

[boog204]

didn't hear the whole thing, but what I heard is him saying that we do not defend the 3 well and essentially we underachieved all year. He's the only analyst who isn't already preparing for a UK-UConn game. He might be a , but he did nothing "douchey" here.

 

[djct1999]

well, the committee had us as the 34th best team in the country.........who cares what doug gotlieb thinks. i learned a while ago, the week is much better when you dont listen to these morons anyway. uconn is an elite program who for all intensive purposes underachieved this year. which means, we will be an easy target. get used to it if you arent already.

The OP started this thread before Doug made his picks -- I think it was in reference to suggesting that our poor finish could have been used against us in the selection process. He didn't actually say that we should have been left out - he just used us as a counter-point for why someone else was left out for a poor finish. It fell short of douchiness - as was his picking Iowa State. I'm sure he'll give us better opportunities to start this thread before the season's over.

 

[hoopsknowitall]

UCONN's got one of the best if not the best ever one game coaches in its corner. It will be tough but I think UCONN survives and moves on.

 

[ArmyHuskyFan]

This is exactly what we need. Winning!

Maybe, but it just seems that whenever he needs to justify something, he uses UCONN. Are they the only team that struggled down the stretched that made the tourney? No, just the one at the tip of Gottlieb's tongue.

 

[Waquoit]

That is all I've read that I hold against him. Agree or disagree, I think he is honest with his opinions, unlike a Pat Forte.

 

[RIHusky13]

I hate the "Who cares" thing. I care, obviously the OP cares. If you don't care about Gottlieb then don't click on the thread with him name in it.

Now about him being a , he was all excited on twitter when UConn got the 9 seed, he tweeted "UConn vs. KY" then he goes and picks ISU.

lmfao! i said the same thing. i was thinking "w...t...f... does uconn have to do with what their talking about? that was so unnessasary. what an a$$clown.

 

[BRS24]

I told my husband, DG will get in a UConn dig as quickly as Dickie V gets in a Dukie praise. After they "fixed" his mike, sure enough, he flipped UC the bird. He's only worth listening too on ESPN Radio when you are stuck in traffic during a long commute home and need some laughs.

 

[ASweet3781]

I can't complain about Doug G when you have a dunce like Hubert Davis sitting there.
