UCLA vs Gonzaga

[CTBasketball]

UCLA is the 2nd rated defense according to KenPom (nerds!) but totally different team without Clark and Bona.

Which mustache would you rather ride? The UCLA pirate flag Jacquez or the Pacific Northwest lumberjack Timme?

 

[Dove]

FAU/Tennessee is exciting.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Gonzaga’s lack of interest in playing defense is making us forget UCLA is down two starters. Don’t think I’m grasping at straws to say we’ll give them a better fight.

 

[ElGreco]

Lmaoooo

We can handle him

 

[nelsonmuntz]

FAU/Tennessee is exciting.

How is this game even close? Is Tennessee really this bad?

 

[Jaker]

Wow, FAU is looking good.

 

[businesslawyer]

Tyger Campbell is going to be a problem

We only saw Diarra for a handful of minutes today. We may need to see much more of him Saturday to deal with Campbell.

I am going for Florida Atlantic. mSG backing them up too

 

[Jaker]

FAU making it rain now

Fresh legs Diarra giving Campbell a hard time sounds like a good idea to me. Just gotta get a lead with Newton in so his lack of offense doesn’t bite us.

Air tight D which is great , but offensively not all that. FAU playing them tougher than Duke, go figure

Either one would be our toughest matchup of the season, but I think Gonzaga would be our best matchup. They’re two really good teams and they have experience

Not sure either is tougher than Bama and we dusted them. Bring ‘em on

 

[uconngb]

I want Gonzaga. Sanogo will eat Timme’s lunch down low. He looks totally disinterested on the defensive end of the floor.

Sanogo will school Timme

 

[wheelerdog]

UCLA will be like a road game

 

[gsmooth]

UCLA will be like a road game

Correct. But so would Gonzaga. Both teams fan bases travel well to Vegas

 

[Waquoit]

Who do we match up better with? Both are going to be difficult.

Arkansas was going to be difficult.

We've reached a point where I don't really care -- if you're going to win, you're going to have to beat someone good. We can beat anyone.

The only thing I want is 15 overtimes.

Gonzaga is not FF worthy this year. Average defense at best, weak conference inflated a lot of their metrics, etc. UConn vs UCLA would be a beast matchup.

I would like to play a “not FF worthy” team…checks notes…with the FF on the line.

PSA - FAU v KSU at the Garden if anyone has $20 burning a hole in their pocket.

I’d rather play Gonzaga. They’re soft and do not have the size to battle our bigs.

But I’m down for whoever. Bring it on.

To deal with Tyger Campbell? Really?

 

[Jaker]

FAU has some quick guards

 

[tzznandrew]

I’d rather play Gonzaga. They’re soft and do not have the size to battle our bigs.

But I’m down for whoever. Bring it on.

I mean, UCLA is getting slaughtered on the boards. If their big is still injured, that's going to be a real problem for them.

Florida Atlantic and Jalen Gaffney about joinhis former teammates in Elite 8

 

[SoFla Steve]

I’d rather play Gonzaga. They’re soft and do not have the size to battle our bigs.

But I’m down for whoever. Bring it on.

Timme has 31 pts. No one else has more than 7. He's not getting any help.
