Final Four Games UH/Baylor & Gonzaga/UCLA

[jibsey]

Yeah, but no one is doubting Mick's coaching ability anymore and he is still a young man. This won't be his last trip to the FF.

He’ll get talent. Cripes, he made Cincinatti good!

That was only a 74 possession game despite the OT.

The teams shot 1.26 and 1.22 points per possession. Unreal levels.

And a 35 foot OT winner? With a perfect season on the line? Gooooodness.

Suggs and Kispert get all the talk but Timme is the best player at this level.

All of the Zags starters seem extremely talented.

 

[DaveHuskiesFan]

Whatd he say?

I’m sure Jalen Adams was the first thing that went through Cronin’s head

Cronin is going to have nightmares anytime his opponent has a Jalen on its roster.

2004 UConn lost 6 games and would beat them comfortably as would other teams.

Well that 2004 team had the two best players in the country, as the NBA Draft verified that and that team was loaded with talent that complemented each other. They would beat a lot of other teams that won the title. That team was being compared to 1990 UNLV as people wrote UConn to win it all before filling out the rest of the bracket.

But let’s appreciate what Gonzaga has done this year-it’s impressive and they are fun to watch

Idk if anyone noticed, but Mick started yelling at his guys to run back after the Juzang layup. They let Suggs run 3/4 of the court without a guy within 20 feet of him. That one coaching mistake cost them the game. Get a guy in his face and we’re in double OT. Wow

All of the Zags starters seem extremely talented.

The secret to going undefeated is to have the best finisher, the best 3pt shooter, the best PG, the best 3 and D, and a 5* in your starting lineup.

CBS gushing over Timme disgusting.....I thought the block by Scuggs was an obvious foul....but still this was the best college game of all time.

Why is it disgusting? He was the best player on the court all night, and is the best player on the team

 

[superjohn]

If Juzang doesn't go pro UCLA will have everyone coming back plus Peyton Watson.

 

[kobe]

Yeah, but no one is doubting Mick's coaching ability anymore and he is still a young man. This won't be his last trip to the FF.

wouldn’t count on it. he’ll have better teams at UCLA for sure but don’t think he’ll ever have a better run.

 

[superjohn]

Cronin really blew it by not getting the 5th foul on Timme early in OT.

Cronin was masterful.

 

[aburks41]

If Juzang doesn't go pro UCLA will have everyone coming back plus Peyton Watson.

He played his way into a top 20 pick

 

[ClifSpliffy]

he's right. yo j, yo j, check this:
2004 NBA draft - Wikipedia

numbers 2 and 3.

i mean, the 2004 team averaged 40% from 3, so forget that gonzaga 3's talk jibberjabber. of course, they also blocked almost every shot, and the ones they didn't, they just grabbed every rebound. every rebound. (i counted).

timmy and the gonzos would get pounded.

 

[BugsyCT]

I don't think either team ever lead by more than 7 points. Terrific game from start to finish.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Why is it disgusting? He was the best player on the court all night, and is the best player on the team

Timmie is a very smart player. His footwork is almost perfect. The refs also weren’t going to call a borderline foul to give him his 5th.

 

[UconnU]

That ending is going to be played back for years. Like the Laettner shot.

 

[WeAreUCONN]

Cronin was masterful.

His players were masterful iono bout him. I prefer to give his players all of the credit and him none.

 

[McLovin]

He played his way into a top 20 pick

Yeah, but does he need chiefs blessing to go pro?

 

[metsfan2323]

wouldn’t count on it. he’ll have better teams at UCLA for sure but don’t think he’ll ever have a better run.

yeah OK, Mick still sucks in your mind. Enjoy your basketball team, you deserve it, you're a loser.

 

[TheDawgs]

wouldn’t count on it. he’ll have better teams at UCLA for sure but don’t think he’ll ever have a better run.

I mean he’s proven he can seriously coach. I wouldn’t doubt it if he made it back. Especially if he has more talent.

 

[BigFanCT]

Cronin did very, very good things this tournament.
And Cincy is back to the drawing board to find a new coach.
the irony.

 

[gsmooth]

He’ll get talent. Cripes, he made Cincinatti good!

Damn right. Plus UCLA is easier to get recruits. Great location, great history and basketball relevance, and lots of hot women. That is an easy sell

That draft is ridiculous, HSers and foreigners that washed out all over the place.

 

[superjohn]

@kobe is still going to be hurting. Every stud player in California watched that game and this run. Mick is going to be recruiting like crazy there.
