lol at the "ironman squared" running commentary on this thread. Anyway, imo, if you can't perform one of the most basic fundamentals in basketball--boxing out--then you don't deserve to win....GO ZAGS!!!

Where was that shitty Oregon team last week? Only shot 26% from 3 and 16 TOS? KU would have killed them...

i thought you were just going to say two of the most annoying fan bases in college basketball and NFL...

Maybe KU should have played some defense.

Well, I've thought Gonzaga was the 2nd best team all year, and with kansas out, might as well stick with it and take them in the final.

Yes.

Justin Jackson and Theo Pinson have been phenomenal against Monk/Fox and Brooks/Dorsey the last two games. They'll need another effort like that against Gonzaga tomorrow night.

I would assume Theo will get Williams-Goss first. If he can limit him to around 15-18 points, I will be very optimistic on the outcome.

There is no way Berry can stay with him, playing on 2 bum ankles. Which puts JJ on Matthews or Williams.

Karnowski vs Meeks is going to be a war.

Hicks vs Williams/Matthews is a defensive nightmare for Carolina. But Hicks should be able to dominate the other end. Let's hope he's better than 1-12.

Collins scares me coming off the bench for Gonzaga. Going to need Bradley/Meeks/Hicks to get a body on him on every shot.

Overall, I'm not very confident. I have the same feeling as I did before UK and Oregon. Really hope the trend continues.

She's another one who could coach the men's game with no problem.

If the bigs for Carolina would just stand their ground against Karnowski, the will foul him out in the first half. But instead they are taking the contact and jumping back. Just take it in the chest and fall down.

I agree in theory but I'm not sure they will call it.

Carolina is a train wreck offensively. They better make a run before the half.

Need a stop to end the half. But they'll give up a 3.

Basically the same result.
