Kansas has worse looking cheerleaders than we do!

They already beat Zona once this year and I bet the X takes out zona

I think Zona will win and Zona Zags will be a classic. UA has so much talent in the backcourt. Ridiculous, really. And Markannen of course. I love the composition of the Gonzaga team.

It looks like there was a play, Carter just choked.

There was a play but the defense obviously keyed on him. He had to give the ball up there. Its tough because he is their best shooter but doesn't have the athleticism to separate vs. 2 guys.

Carter held it way too long, and the WVU player at the top of the key should have cut away.

I think that Arizona will beat Gonzaga easily.
 
For those of you picking Zona over Gonzaga I wonder if you would bet your hard earned cash on that 1.

Something tells me maybe not.

Nice of the NCAA to let Kansas play pretty much on their home court. This always seems to happen to UNC, Duke and UCLA...hope Purdue wins this
 
painter is not adjusting to kansas throwing the double at swaningan
 
12 1/2 min to go, up by 7, 61-54. The next 8 min is where Kansas traditionally gets tense and spits the bit.
 
bill self doesnt have to coach... his team is experienced and old

Xavier plays a really active 2-3 zone.

That head on angle flattered their zone, but they're not particularly good defensively. And they've been awful rebounding in the 2-3 so far.

What Mack does well is that he keeps switching his defenses - 2-3, 3-2, man, etc. I think that's covered a lot of Xavier's defensive issues - but they're going to get blown out of the zone if Arizona keeps crashing the offensive glass.
 
Kansas went on their runs with both swanigan and lurch in the game. They don't play together much and with both of them in Kansas ran Purdue out of the gym

It is always hard to rebound in a zone. That is the zone's biggest weakness. John Chaney taught a good 3-2 zone. Otherwise I hate that defense because it leaves too much open space inside. I think Arizona just has too much of a height advantage for Xavier to spend much time in man-to-man. I missed the beginning of the game. Is O'Mara hurt? Why isn't he playing more?
