I don't think any team can beat tu right now. They look unstoppable. Their defense was just flat out insane. Every single shot was contested almost. They have so much energy and athleticism. They need their center back but even without him and the smaller lineup they are pretty dam good. Hate this. Why is tu good at almost every dam sport and why do we always choke when it comes down to crunch time. So sick of this.

If Nowell can't create they can't score.

43-21 FAU rebounds
WARNING: I have a deep-seated desire for others to love the Star Wars franchise as much as I do, in exactly the way I do, and get snippy and sensitive and passive-aggressive when they don't.

That blown most wide open layup in basketball history in the first half sure is looming large right now.

Terrible defense followed by terrible possession. Let Forrest who just showed he's ready for the moment get wide open - so open they were able to kill an extra second or two. Then lousy last possession

SIAP. An easy joke, but still great.


Also looked like a Good Matchup for SDSU.
Everything looks like a good matchup when Brandon Miller goes 3/19 out of nowhere. He couldn't even make bunnies around the basket. It's not like all of his 1/10 from 3 land were highly contested. He just choked all night (and I ain't mad at it).
SDSU started the game being Physical and Playing Tough Defense. That play just got IN THEIR HEAD!!! Miller crumbled, started pressing, etc. along with the rest of them.

IMHO SDSU started the Bama fall. It wasn't a case of Bama STARTING play being sh!++y. It was the physical nature and defense that CAUSED them to Play Sh!++y.

Nowell had a great tourney, but passing into a double team with 3 seconds left wasn't a great decision.

Mich St can't get off a three vs K St when I needed them and then K St can't get off a 3 when I need them. The basketball Gods hate my guts.

I really didn't want to Tom Herman to have any amount of joy and was hoping to watch more of Nowell in the Final Four. ****

A mid major is now guaranteed to be playing for the natty. First time since Butler in 2010/2011 if I'm not mistaken

Yeah I'm amazed he didn't try to drive it up and take some sort of runner. Dude he passed to can hit them but he was swarmed. Terrible ending to a great game.

That was a really fun game. There was a 15-20 minute stretch in there where it looked like an all star game (complete with bad turnovers on botched attempts at highlight assists). Raining 3s, slinging the ball around, and driving the hoop.

Gonzaga played for the National Title in 2017 and 2021.

Ah, you're correct. I just don't even think of them as being a mid major because of how consistently they've made deep tourney runs lately and how well they recruit. High-major pedigree in a mid-major conference.

If Gonzaga makes it to the National Title game then we are guaranteed an all Mid Major National Title game.

Crazy. I wonder if this is an anomaly or if the transfer portal has introduced true parity in college basketball

Well they needed a 3 but Nowell has to take the shot.

To pull a coach away from his team during a tournament game seems ridiculous.

Coaches are over-interviewed and over-press conferenced. Rarely compelling, people read nonsense into it because they overly dissect every word, and they are in general a big waste of time

I don't really understand why they would want that to be part of the broadcast. It adds no value.
