Final Four Games UH/Baylor & Gonzaga/UCLA

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.
 
Cool, they absolutely blow as a #2 seed.
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.
 
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.
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

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.
 
If Gonzaga beats UCLA i think Baylor beats them. This team is built to beat the Zags.

They got a good shot and playing the first game is an advantage. Btw what do you mean if Gonzaga beats UCLA ya sure anything can happen but let’s just pencil Gonzaga into the title game.

I don’t know if they’ll win but, at the risk of looking ridiculous on Monday, I think it’s going to be a pretty even matchup. Baylor’s really good and who knows how much scarier people would think they are if they’d been pounding Portland and San Francisco for the last three months.

Again, they had similar to exactly the same matchups as Alabama and Ohio State.

The Big 10 was excellent. Everyone knew it was overrated, but they had a bad tournament performance. Tournament performance only says so much about a conference, though, otherwise we all have to hail the Pac 12 as the best conference this year...

except the players did just that. they stuck up for him. but what's your point? are you now trying to expand the definition of inbred even further beyond one instance of racially insensitive language to encompass the likes of kentucky and duke et al for paying players?
 
who wanted to hear aresco or any other inbred aac fans gloating about getting a team into the final 4?
I forgot college sports fan treated conference allegiance as if it was some sort of gang affiliation
 
I didn't even know Miley Cryrus was popular enough to dig her up for this medley. Who is the target demo for this performance?

If she reads the reviews on this tomorrow, she'll be back in rehab by Tuesday.

I was cooking in the kitchen and didn't know what channel I had the tv on, thought it was either one of those auditions that's gone wrong on a karaoke show or someone kidding around in a TV show scene. I wonder if she's always been that bad.
 
None of these experts have a clue how to beat Gonzaga. UCLA has to stop Timme. Not sure they can, but that's probably where you start.
