Gonzaga Post Game Thread

Gonzaga could have shot 50% from three and still would have lost by 4 points.
 
I admit. I was afraid of Timme going into the game after what he did to UCLA. A senior? They hadn’t lost since Feb 4th. I didn’t know how I felt about Sanogo on him early.

Even before he got in trouble, I was surprised how we rendered him a non factor. His points came off mismatches or breakdowns and nothing really in the flow of a normal set.

Agree, this was a big factor, doubling Sanogo, putting Timme on Andre. Those 2 decisions hurt Gonzaga badly

Amazing to watch Sanogo adding that “No look drop pass to Action Jackson on the baseline”. There’s a lot going on there. Jackson “can’t shoot” so they leave him alone. Sanogo “can’t pass out of the double team”. Hurley “can’t coach”. Love it. One of my favorite plays.

If we continue to play at the level we are playing now do they really scare you? I think you like me are more afraid of us beating ourselves than any team left simply being better because there is no better team. Only we can beat ourselves. I truly believe that.

That is really quite an insight. I think that is why it was kind of frustrating to see some of the struggles we went through. But it is really coming together now at the perfect time. The combination of talent and depth is unparalleled in CBB. It will be very interesting to see what happens to our roster after Houston, the NBA Draft and the portal. Going to be an interesting offseason as well for the BY. :)

Yes over the top. Reminded me of the Jeter play when he got the bad throw to the plate. Jackson saw that before it happened. Like he was half a second ahead of everyone else. My nickname for him is Spider-Man.

His first should have been at about 19:52 of the first half when he hit Jackson on the lob we ran off the opening tip. A pretty obvious foul with a ref staring at the play from three feet away. There’s a reason Andre didn’t convert.

He also had a pretty blatant moving screen in the first half. After calling that all year, the refs seemed to have decided that all screens are OK unless you draw blood or grab someone going by.

Few was the only one afraid. He should have put Timme on Sanogo and may the best man win!! Might not have changed the outcome, but it would have changed Zagnuts attitude going into the game!

Yes you could tell that by the 12 minute mark or so when I suspect reality was sinking in they started going through the motions. IMO….

Yeah, about the time they switched to the zone. No chance that would speed up the game and help them comeback, and they way we were shooting, it wouldn't have helped anyhow. Just a total surrender move

That was his 3rd. The 4th was the charge that Tristen took.

3rd, 4th, not much difference to me. My point was he committed the foul right in front of a ref, the ref blew the whistle, and Sir Charles thinks the refs are supposed to keep count of how many fouls the star players have.

Miami & larragna scare me. George mason in 06 i think. We had great team & he out coached calhoun. One of very very best

Whoever we face next week will have a few days to pour through the tape of our four tournament games. I don't think we'll be the one's who are scared.

That was an amazing play. Andre came out of nowhere to make that play. Hands down my favorite moment of the game, and probably the tournament so far.

When saw that pass, I though, "Oh ! Turnover."

Then out of nowhere, Jackson flies across the TV screen, catch, pass, dagger!

Can't wait to see what this team will do next.
Expand ...
Literally a superhuman play. Not even Nadav anticipated a play to that degree!

Good to see Dog.

I have spoken!

2009 was not on the crowd. It was on the fact that our best scorer didn't play. The crowd is not as big a deal in a football stadium.

Providence's season trajectory validates everyone's complaints about the officiating at the Dunk. Providence sucked on the road, and their inflated record was clearly a product of home-cooking officiating.

Mmmm, gonna respectfully disagree here. PC was better at home (like most teams are) but the home Ws weren’t all due to favorable officiating. I think they were a well above average team, but the coaching fiasco that occurred down the stretch screwed that whole team up. I believe that’s why they were a bad team the last several weeks. The head coach puts his home up for sale and does nothing to refute the rumors swirling around him (he actually made it worse). I’m not surprised the team fell apart. I hope their new coach works out, we need the Big East to have 6, 7, or 8 teams balling out and getting ncaa bids and put this “Power 5“
baloney in basketball put to rest.
GO HUSKIES!

I'm in such a good mood that it doesn't bother me that outsiders compared that play to Jeter.

It is a little sad when a star walks off the court for the last time in the Tournament. 67 teams that made the NCAA Tournament will end their season with a loss, as will 31 NIT Teams. If your team didn't make one of those tournaments, then the season was already considered a failure and disappointment, and most players consider the NIT a disappointment. My point is that most players will end their college career with a negative outcome. It is just the nature of a single elimination tournament.

Timme was one of the best players in the country, and probably played his last college game tonight. While I enjoyed UConn stomping Gonzaga tonight, I also remember Kevin Freeman's last game, under similar circumstances in 2000. Tennessee stomped UConn in Freeman's last game, and I remember how sad it was to see his season end that way. I can clearly picture Calhoun meeting him in front of the scorer's table for a hug.

Yes. But this one was less painful for me than that one!

I have spoken!

And never will be. It's a closed group. Who cares. Change the rules, change the game. The rules have changed. NIL...Portal...Perhaps the billionaire Derby winner boosters in KY don't have the same influence now. Time will tell. Let's see what this looks like in another decade when the little baller kids watching this tournament are choosing to attend UConn.
