NCAA Tournament

Saw Mattress Mack has got his Cougar game on...buy a mattress and get 150% back if Houston wins it all.

Seems a win/win for him...if the Coogs win, he got 9:1 on a $1M bet and will only be paying out 1.5:1, and if they lose, the mattresses sold will help him recoup some of the million bucks.

A Texas team will be in the final!

Look at the big brain on you!

 

[zuckercanyon]

I’ll have a Royale with cheese!

 

[HornHuskerDad]

Anybody betting against Gonzaga?

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Coogs not looking so hot right now. Wondering what happened to their much vaunted smothering defense.

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

They are playing a real team instead of yet another double digit seed.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

UH’s shooting today is awful. It’s like Stormtrooper Aim.

 

[BevoJoe]

Houston looks terrible. 45-20 Baylor at the half.

Maybe they smothered themselves...Baylor's killing them with 3's

 

[BevoJoe]

UH guys look like they been drinking . . . but if they haven't, now might be a good time to start.

 

[Run Pincher]

Baylor may not have to score in the 2nd half.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Baylor seems to be better with overall shooting, hitting 3-pointers, rebounding, and stealing. Did I miss anything?

Nope...at least no one's britches have fallen down for UH while running down the court. Not yet anyway.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Looking forward to a Jesuits v. Baptists final game. (Assuming, of course, that the Zags prevail tonight.)

The game was over when Baylor hit 3 straight threes after being up by 10 already. They stuffed UH early and forced them to shoot 3s and UH couldn't handle it. By the time they were down 20 there was no way back. Much better game in the second half but too late.

 

[BevoJoe]

I'm going with the Zags. I think they will match up better with Baylor than UCLA.

 

[BevoJoe]

UCLA and Gonzaga much better game. Zags up 45-44 at the half.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

A thrilling game, worthy of its prime-time slot.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

UCLA might just do this.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

I’m glad I’m not emotionally invested in either of these teams or I would be climbing the walls right now.

 

[Giovanni Jones]

OT!!!

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Jaw on floor with that last shot by the Zags (Suggs)

 

[Giovanni Jones]

Better say your prayers, Baylor.

 

[Monahorns]

That was a razor thin game.

Gonzaga didn't shoot as well as from the outside as usual. But UCLA went away from Juzang in OT. Timme made a huge impact even with 4 fouls. UCLA shoot really well. That was a great basketball game.

 

[2003TexasGrad]

Timmeh! had some Olajuwonesque moves. Color me impressed.

 

[FWHORN]

Got to see last four minutes and OT, as someone wrote above I’m glad I wasn’t emotionally invested in either team because that was thrilling for a casual fan let alone someone who lives and dies with one of those teams. And what a shot I had visions of Paulino against WVU in 06 running through my mind.

 

[mb227]

Last time Baylor MBB killed someone like that, Carlton Dotson wound up with a lengthy prison term...

 

[yelladawgdem]

Good Lord, watching UCLA play is a thing of beauty. That is Naismith, Iba, Wooden, Smith, Knight, Coach K basketball. Where the game is won and lost below the rim, not above it.

From a play-in game to a whisker away from a National Title game, wow. Just, wow.


Go Zags.

 

[CreakyHorn]

Looks sadly familiar. Baylor killed us with 3's also.
