[Crank_it_loud]

And no excuses but Gonzaga has gotten some lucky breaks in this one (our guys falling over, our shots going around the rim, etc)....

You can trash me if you want, but slowing the tempo down is our downfall. We are playing a game the Zags want.

 

[dbav]

Jefferson is fighting hard. Keep it up.

 

[dbav]

Great shot Matt. Come on devils!

 

[youngman42]

Tyus not having a very good game but Jones doing well.

 

[The Right Blue]

Keep fighting! Also, leave Jefferson in, he's been great

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

There you go...our mini run.

OFC

 

[Crank_it_loud]

You know what? I complained about Matt earlier but I gotta give him credit, he's showing heart and emotion....

 

[Mpm277]

I'm glad Matt hit that three but we absolutely cannot be falling in love with it.

 

[youngman42]

I love Plumlee's fight but he is not a smart player and still has coordination issues.

Would love to see Grayson get some burn. But that shot by Ok - just sheer will.

 

[OldasdirtDevil]

Hell Yeah...that's what I'm talking about...now it's a 9-0 run, and we've got the ball back after a Zag turnover.

OFC

[OldasdirtDevil]

Matt Jones is killing!!!!!!

 

[dbav]

Matt Jones wants to go to the Final 4. That's all you can say.

 

[bluedevilfan42]

Big baskets by Tyus and Matt. . OFC

 

[pisgah101]

I'll take back all the bad I've ever said about Matt if he keeps it up WOW

 

[Crank_it_loud]

Is it me or have more balls bounced out of the rim today than in any recent games?

 

[dbav]

Keep taking it at Sabonis is and Karnowski.

The rims are really tight. Probably new, and been put up there recently...maybe right before the regional.

OFC

 

[youngman42]

Tyus had a great first 6-7 minutes and a good streak just now as he has has come alive - several assists though due to Okafor making good shots - as well as Jones 3 pointers. Stats don't always tell the whole story. but had a long 20 min or so stretch of avg D and poor drives.

He has been great the last 5 minutes of play though.

Oh dear God I just said the same thing.

Justise will not be denied!!!!!!!!!!

OFC

 

[uwgbluedevil]

JUSTISE!!!

 

[Mpm277]

2 offensive possessions we've done stall ball - both resulted in bad threes at the end of the clock. Sure, Winslow hit one but it wasn't a good look.

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

LET'S GO DEVILS

 

[skysdad]

They did say Wiltjer was a Duke fan growing up right? Did we recruit him and isn't he a transfer from UK ? OFC
