Wagner was awful tonight - when he was so good all year.

 

[longliveCS40]

He hit the rim on that one.

 

[HawkCat]

Epic gag. Lots of opportunities but no clutch play to be found.

 

[HawkBall23]

9 teams invited, including two #1s and two #2s.
1 team in the S16.
1 (same) team in E8.
0 teams in the F4.

That's the textbook definition of a conference flame-out in the NCAA Tournament.

 

[TheTruthTheWholeTruth]

Thank you baby Buddha!

 

[Franisdaman]

Michigan was 6-11 from the FT line, as well

 

[Ronman]

Jim Jackson sucks.

Rose has a lot of gall showing up for this game. He is a cheater and a jinx.

 

[TheRealHerky]

Of course Wagner couldn't miss against Iowa, but sucks royal ass tonite.

Boroski was in the game. He hates free throws for any team. His dad was killed by a free throw.

Dude...come on...

So, it's going to be Pacific Coast vs Texas in the eventual championship game

Great, I want to see more of Bob Marley from Cedar Rapids. Was going to cheer for Michigan but changed my mind right away when I saw Tyger Campbell. Stir it up!

He is a blast to watch.

Tyger Campbell is going to give Gonzaga that five sided fistagon

Suggs is a lottery pick. Timme and Kispert are going to have a day.

 

[RocknRollface]

Can we just skip to Baylor Gonzaga?

Houston and ucla? Give me fvcking break. Two teams that should have lost Rutgers and MSU.

Ucla will not even be competitive with the zags for 5 minutes.

 

[Ronman]

Michigan played so tight in this game you couldn't have pulled a needle out of their ass with a tractor!

Tyger trying to guard any of the zaggs guards will be a joke.

Im guessing they put him on Ayayi.

Who do they put on Suggs?

Dickinson looks incapable of bending his knees.

He blew it.

They kept going to him and he couldn't overpower his guy.

Probably, I just wanted to make a RATM reference

 

[RocknRollface]

Juzang?

 

[Moral]

It was super accurate

 

[RocknRollface]

You might be right. I had to look, holy shit Zaga is tall. Suggs is the shortest at 6'3. Ayayi is 6'4 or so

Yeah, Nembhard is way to physical.

It really doesn't matter who they put on who they have no shot to defend the zags. Its one big mismatch all around.

Still -- Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight!

Houston will beat Baylor.

 

[24 so far]

Houston will beat Baylor.

Uuummm no.

Score 49 you lose. It appeared like they wanted to get Wagner some redemption for his airball. He was poor in this game, as were most of the Wolverines. 49 points is bad, the UCLA Defense isn't THAT good. Pure clunker, welcome to the club!

 

[Raptorpeeps]

Glad Michigan lost.

F’ them.

Go Zags!

 

[Rambler Hawk]

He hit the rim on that one.

Yeah, the shot was so off I was hoping for the improbable bank shot as it was going towards the rim. A tough shot no less, but it seemed Michigan really had no good options for someone stroking a clutch three last nite. Or making a 2 foot shot in the waning minutes for that matter! 😉

 

[BBHawk]

51-49? Sounds like Bo Boroski-reffed game...

 

[HawkRugged17]

Agreed ... hope it's Baylor - Gonzaga on Monday night.

Houston and UCLA ... 1968 ... Game of the Century ... Elvin Hayes vs Lew Alcindor. Old guy memories!
