Great game. The Suggs block on Riley was a foul at the 2.00 minutes to go. The announcers, while showing the replay, gushed over the block and ignored the foul (wonder what J. Bilas would have said), when it was clearly obvious Suggs hit Riley's right arm causing him to miss the shot. The block and fantastic pass by Suggs for the slam was The Play of the game. Suggs would have had 4 fouls and Riley may have hit 0, 1, or both free throws, Gonzaga would not have had that energizing moment and Suggs would have to play more conservatively with 4 fouls. Basketball has several key plays, football has a handful, this one sequence seemed to seal the fate for both teams.

Need a little luck to win it

 

[kingbluedevil]

Pulling for the Zags to win. They are a fun team to watch and I think they put the hammer down on Baylor

 

[Shatterthesky22]

Some bitter non-Zags fans out there i see. As a fan of just CBB this was a great game to watch no matter who won or how they won.

I mean, we are on a Duke board. I honestly don't know why anyone here would be pulling for them to finish off this unbeaten season.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

Show us on the doll where Gonzaga touched you. I don't understand the hate this group is getting. Seems very unwarranted. And yet, I am seeing it everywhere.

And people saying I'm butthurt. Of course it's warranted, they're unbeaten. You're always gonna have people who want to see those teams fall.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

How did you feel when Austin Rivers was popping his Jersey to the UNC crowd after his buzzer beater?

He ran to the other end and got tackled. Why are you making things up about our guys? lmao?

I'm just giving you a hard time man. The Zags aren't Carolina, Kentucky, Kansas, or Michigan so it wouldn't bother me.

I don't want anyone doing it but Duke bro. And I know, but what's a good Final Four without trash talk?!

Haha, I hear ya man. I really do. I guess I just remember what it was like to struggle back in those days where we went to final four after final four without a title.

Yeah I’d probably be pulling for Gonzaga over Baylor if they weren’t undefeated...but since they are, Go Baylor.

 

[politicsasusual21]

It was a great shot to end a great game. No problem with the celebration. I love watching them have fun

 

[IFaZe]

Either way this season is forever tainted. Undefeated will always be followed by “the corona year blah blah” lol

 

[christophero]

I guess Gonzaga going undefeated isn't enough to win this board over.

Not in that weak-ass excuse for a conference. Little chance of being upset due to an off night in a road game during the week.

 

[acc hoops]

They had ample chances to be upset. Beat
Kansas by 12, Auburn 23, West Va 5, Iown 8, UVA 23
I think they more than proved themselves.

Those games were spread out and a team can get up for that. What if they played them back to back to back? That happens in some conferences when strong (looking at you ACC). Auburn was not good this year. Oddly enough Gonzaga were supposed to play Baylor after WVU but was cancelled. Virginia was not the vintage teams of the past five years.

 

[christophero]

Back to back to back say in the NCAA tournament? Like USC, UCLA and Baylor?

I specifically mentioned CONFERENCE games. You rarely see a power 5 team go undefeated in conference play. There’s a reason for that. Hi Mac!!!

Those 5 schools you mentioned won a total of 3 NCAAT games.

 

[Mac9192]

I’d like to see Gonzaga lose only because I don’t want to see an undefeated team in this wacky year we’ve had.
I’m not sure they would have went undefeated in a major conference, but they’re still a really good team, if not the best, this season. We will see tonight. And if they do lose, the goggle wearing Duke fans (like Gap) will be crowing that Few didn’t win the big one, and Duke’s still the premier program.
The weak conference argument isn’t their fault. No more than it’s Clemson’s fault no one is good in football in the acc.
Few has built Gonzaga up from a nobody to a national power. They play as tough a non conference as anyone. Plus, I’d put BYU and St Mary’s up against at least half our conference.

 

[christophero]

I don't think they are close to the best team ever. But they've had the best team 2 years running. Baylor could beat them; but I wouldn't bet on it. Not even the 5 points. Guess we'll know tonight.

Big ****ing deal. Look at UCLA.What is Gonzaga supposed to do? They played who they played. Would have kicked anyone’s ass in ACC. I hope they win but Baylor’s guards may stop them.

 

[christophero]

If Gonzaga was in the Pac 12 they would probably have 2-3 losses (maybe) but also probably have a one seed and be where they are.

Werent all those teams gone by the second round?

Agree....Go Baylor.....

OFC

They would've still lost 2-3 games in the ACC, and more in the Big 12/Big 10. They're a great team, just not deserving of 32-0 and that history.

 

[IFaZe]

Crazy. I think they are well deserving of going undefeated if they win tonight lol. They’re the perfect team to be the first undefeated team in history...like I said the corona will always be associated with that ....along with their conference. But hey they beat some teams!! They deserve it.

 

[acc hoops]

Few seems like a great guy to play for. If they lose it will be because they don’t seem to have that 8-10 pt scorer off the bench.

 

[hart2chesson]

Bobby Knight's '76 natl title team is the last team to win it all and go undefeated. OFC

That was not the rheme of the discussion. Nice misdirection though.

This I can agree with

 

[Duke1783]

I wonder if Jalen Johnson has already quit watching?

 

[christophero]

I think I jinxed the Zags. Guess we see what theyre made of.

 

[skysdad]

Baylor out of the gate fast. OFC

 

[denverexpat]

What a blitz by Baylor....5/5 from 3 to start and defensively causing TO's....Zags need to find some energy or this one will be over at half. Love to see the experience of Baylor's guards being a huge factor.

 

[Shatterthesky22]

Unsurprisingly Baylor is the superior team.

 

[skysdad]

Still plenty of time for Gonzaga to come back. OFC

 

[denverexpat]

Baylor has outshot the Zags 31/16 ...almost 2X the number...that's insane.

 

[Mr.Scary13]

Gonzaga living at the free throw line or they would be getting destroyed right now.

 

[christophero]

I told myself if the Zags could get it to 10 at halftime...
