UCLA vs Gonzaga

We lost to UCLA in the regional final in '96 (?) and didn't get to the final four.

We beat Gonzaga in the regional final in '99 and went to the final four and won it all.

So from a historic perspective, it is the right match up.
Revenge game for them, tho.
 
Scouting report for Gonzaga is very simple: Stop Timme and we win.
Let him get his points, don't foul.

Try to prevent entry passes, but no need to double him.

My big worry is the high hedge. He should be open a lot on pick and rolls, and diving when we hedge.

We still owe UCLA. Would have liked payback.
 
Does anyone else think Mick Cronin comes off as an arrogant jerk, when TV people interview him? He always seems to give himself credit for their success and not his players. I think Mark Few is a much classier coach and was rooting for Gonzaga in this game for that reason. Either team would have been a tough test, but I think UConn can beat anyone when they play well.
