Final Four Games UH/Baylor & Gonzaga/UCLA

Houston got unlucky that Baylor is hitting shots so well today.

I think Baylor will need to shoot this well Monday to have a chance at beating Zags.
 
UConn will continue to be the only AAC team that has even won it all. Just like it should be. In 50 years, 50 years after leaving the aac, would be funny if it was the same.

Starting to see why the aac tends to get "underserved"/ disrespected with the seeds each year.

This could be one of those 95-51 demolition type final scores when Nova destroyed Oklahoma.
 
Houston’s big guys are such liabilities for them- they’re basically a wasted spot on offense and they play two of them together at the same time. Their core philosophy is fine but they really need to get another playmaker/scorer on the floor for one of their big guys if they want to be able to compete at this level.

Grimes is an All-American and went scoreless in the first half. That’s unacceptable if you’re a UH fan. And Jarreau is 1-7. Just not gonna get it done

it just sounds ridiculous to say “yeah it’s completely unsurprising that a 1 is beating a 2 by 25 at the half .... everyone expected this.”

And what is Kenny talking about, Baylor has two special players in Mitchell and the kid with the mullet.
 
Baylor looks like an NBA team to Houston, it’s not like Houston has been sloppy.

Please stop the "cut to Lily" crapola. It's not funny. It's not anything.

Let her stick to the AT&T commercials.
 
Been tryna tell ppl Gonzaga and Baylor is going to be an instant classic, i picked Baylor in my bracket that wasn’t the UCONN bracket
 
I wonder if Kelvin Sampson sticks around. I always hear his name come up when jobs open up, but it seems like he personally has it good there.

Baylor is the best 3 point shooting team in the country.
 
This is definitely Baylor’s best game in a while (so far). Took them some time to adjust after the covid pause, but if it comes down to Baylor and Gonzaga that should be a great game

They will have a chance regardless because they will be by far the best defensive team the zags played, isn’t even remotely close
 
lol on replay of that not call with a hard elbow to chest. Might as well clothesline guards on transition and see if you can get away with it with these refs.
 
Sometimes blowouts happen and it isn't because the team getting blown out is trash.

That Oklahoma team in 2016 was a good team. They just met the best team in the country.

Too bad we failed so regularly in that "inbred conference".

with ollie failure became inevitable the conference had nothing to do with it. ollie would have failed even if we were in the ASUN conference whatever that stands for. his failure was an unstoppable force.

I’m chuckling a bit at the “inbred” conference comment like we don’t currently share a league with a team that has a coach who publicly admitted to using a racist phrase in the locker room postgame and he ~didn’t~ get fired
 
Houston is a very good team. This game would have been different if Grimes came to play. Houston would still have lost though.

However Baylor is just way better than every other team except Gonzaga. Their athleticism, team speed, and breakdown abilities from both Mitchell and Butler is tough to defend. They are like UCONN 2014, but with bigger guards than Bazz and Boat.

Baylor is tough on offense and defense.

please, if you think there was a quantum of hatred or prejudice in his heart when he said that you should just crawl into a hole somewhere this world will never be politically correct enough for you. his actions over the course of his career as coach, mentor, and father figure, speak volumes louder than one word.
 
Love the way Baylor moves the ball to the open guy. Houston isn't bad at it, just not Baylor-level.

Why are you dying on the hill that a 2 seed that made the Final Four and has metrics like

Kenpom: 3
Sagarin: 5
BPI: 3
NET: 5

not only didn't deserve a 2 seed but actually sucks? The reality is that only a few teams were good this year, and Houston was among the better of that second tier. How do I know? They made the Final Four.

You can give me the "they only played double digit seeds," but that's the same with Alabama and they've been gone. That's the same with Ohio State. Your beloved Iowa got bounced by a 7 seed, not all that different from a 10.

They're not the best team we've ever seen or anything, but your absolute hatred of them is irrational.

On the one hand, I distinctly recall the Ollie "sad face" every game, but OTOH, I've always wondered if he would've done better if he didn't go through his divorce and gave his full attention to the job.

Like paying kids and getting caught? I actually know people on the Creighton roster, McDermott is not a guy you want to die on a hill for
 
Looks like we’ll have a mullet man and a mustache man playing for the championship.

I think they suck as a 2 seed. They played one ranked team all season over 4 months ago and should've lost to Rutgers. They had the easiest run in the history of the tournament to the final 4 and got waxed by Baylor, congrats to them. Now tell me again how amazing the Big 10 is.
