Could have been an episode of vasovageal syncope. Scary, but harmless.
Hope he is ok.

I'll admin I had to Google.

 

[flaiawis]

USC has been able to lock teams down in this tournament. Not so much tonight. Gonzaga is so smart and versatile on offense. I'm not sure Kispert has taken a shot. Take what the other team gives them. Tonight it is Timme.

Iowa couldn’t stay within 50 of Gonzaga.

Wait, what?

LOL

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

LOL they already have, stupid.

 

[flaiawis]

The only team in the country that might have a shot is Baylor. They may be able to slow them down enough to keep it under 10.

Maybe they can keep it under 10 for a half but I doubt it.

 

[QChawks]

Zags













everyone else

 

[wilson reborn]

Is USC’s defense awful, or is Gonzaga that good?

 

[33hawkfan]

Zags













everyone else

They’re the greatest college team of all time and I don’t think it’s really close.

 

[Moral]

WV is the only team to hold the Zags to single digits. BYU held them to 10 and 11. Iowa held them to 11.

 

[Michael1969]

Gonzaga has been working for years to finally get a team like this.

 

[Franisdaman]

I demand that USC and UCLA win tonight.

Thank you.

 

[QChawks]

Guess I’ll find something to do until last game

lame

 

[Michael1969]

Be interesting to see if USC can make any sort of rally like Oregon State and Arkansas did last night to get the margin down.

 

[Moral]

Gonzaga has been working for years to finally get a team like this.

Looking at their recruiting they are going to be rolling for a while. Michigan might keep pace in the future.

 

[Moral]

USC is only a 13 pointer away now.

 

[flaiawis]

Complain all you like about the conference Gonzaga is in and whether they may have lost a game in another conference. In their sights are an undefeated national championship. Only 7 teams have done it. The last being the 1975-76 Indiana team.
As Moral pointed out. Only WVU has been within 10 of them. That is pretty good. To say they are the best college basketball team of all time is laughable though.

Oh yeah I’m sure there’s a long list of teams that are undefeated and never had a game within 10 points. You watching this game?

 

[Moral]

Gonzaga is everywhere. This team is smart and well coached. Wish the Baylor Zaga game didnt get cancelled this year.

WV Zaga was a 5 point game.

 

[Michael1969]

They remind me of the run of UNLV teams Jerry Tarkanian had in the early 90s.

Except much better shooting.

Yeah there were posters on this board ripping on Gonzaga because they played in the WCC. They are are a great team, regardless of which conference they are in.

I look forward to Gonzaga Michigan matchup.

 

[Franisdaman]

i guess its better that USC is taking this beating as opposed to Iowa

Me too, bet the house on Gonzaga.

That is your criteria for the best college basketball team of all time? Point differential?
UCLA in two seasons from 1972-74 won two titles and was 60-0.
Kareem Abdual Jabbar won more national titles 3 than he lost games,2.
Gonzaga is good, but get real.

 

[33hawkfan]

Agreed. Can’t even imagine how bad it would be if we were playing them.

So there are going to go undefeated too just like Gonzaga. And they didn’t have to win as many games to win the championship.

 

[Michael1969]

Best team of all time? I doubt it. But it seems like this is the biggest gap we've had from one team and the rest of the field in quite some time. But never know, they still have to get through 2 1/2 more games.

My rule is if you are drinking you can proclaim anyone the best team ever.

[Franisdaman]

the argument against Gonzaga is that they would not have gone 23-0 during a 20 game B1G reg season + 3 B1G Tournament games

 

[littlez]

Their conference isn’t good. Let’s move past that. They are dominating everyone in their way, which is all that matters. Regardless of their conference, no matter where you put them they would be the best team in their league. Undefeated, probably not. But who cares?

I believe it was the Dead Kennedys that said "who cares? Games over. Let's all get wasted man."

 

[anon_b29nm7v7dwp6r]

Lol all the people around here that were hating on Gonzaga early in the tournament sure seem to have disappeared

 

[BubsFinn]

LOL they already have, stupid.

If they met in the tournament, with the health of our guys, Gonzaga would have beaten us by 50. And that's after they pulled their starters at the 8 minute mark.

To be fair 80% of the board seemed to have disappeared.
