@wissox said in Today's Games Thread:
With ten minutes left on Thanksgiving Day we were behind the Zags by 1 point. It fell apart after that, but for 30 minutes we were as good as the best team in the nation. I really didn’t take too much from that game as a sign of where this team was headed. But after watching the team that destroyed us a week ago get destroyed tonight makes it seem we’re light years away. And yet, Baylor is a team we hung with before losing and then of course defeated. Strange KU season and if there’s no covid affecting Jalen possibly we finished the year on a higher note.
I have some hope for this roster but with a PG or two that knows how to control the game and is able to score.
Should lead to better looks consistently.

Pitiful end to the BIG season. Airball and a prayer that had no chance of being answered even by a very merciful and benevolent God.
-
@wissox So your feed is at least 2 full minutes ahead of mine!
-
Wow. I did NOT see that coming.
-
And no teams east of the Mississippi are left.
The network suits must tearing out what’s left of their hair.
-
@mayjay I’m sorry, it was a prediction actually that bad sequence spelled doom for the maize and blue.
-
@wissox As I watched I was wondering which of the last second shots you were referring to!
So, I went to Michigan (for law school) and never cared about basketball there. Never went to a game. No feeling either when they won in 1989, nor last night when they got upset.
Also was accepted to UCLA, where I applied just because I thought it would be fun to be in LA and because of their bb history (last champ was while I was a junior at KU). I actually feel more allegiance to a school I never went to. Weird, huh? (Being a Bruins fan was seriously tested when Lonzo was there, however!)
Looking forward to the F4 because I can cheer for all the schools–well, Kelvin can go suck eggs, but I am happy to see Grimes succeeding.
-
So you were at KU in the 90’s when obannon and UCLA won or were you referring to their last 70’s championship?
UCLA is strange. They feel like they should be right up there with the rest of us blue bloods but I guess they’re living proof that a strong program can lose favor with the young guys who don’t know their history. Recruiting guys to UCLA should be the easiest part of the job for a Bruin coach but it’s not anymore.
-
Former Jayhawk Evan Manning is currently a Graduate Assistant for Mark Few at Gonzaga if anyone wants a reason to justify cheering for Gonzaga.
-
I like UCLAs roster. Definitely underdogs. Definitely try hard. They might get smoked but theyre easy to root for.
-
@wissox The 75 season was indeed my freshman spring at KU. I forgot Harrick’s title at UCLA–actually tuned out much of the world in the 90’s!
-
Arizona taking it to UConn in the Women’s Final Four up 11 halfway through the 2nd quarter.
-
Zona up 9 going into the 4th. Their defense has absolutely shut down Paige Bueckers and UConn tonight.
-
Arizona pulls off a huge upset in the Women’s Final Four knocking off UConn 69-59. They will play Stanford on Sunday night for the national title.
-
Ku recruited most of their roster
-
Both games had huge blown calls in the last few minutes. I think they had more effect in the first game, but the second game’s refs should feel really crappy when they review the tapes.
“You mean I called a foul on someone who never was closer than a foot?”
“Yep. Enjoy next season in HS ball.”
-
Baylor looking crisp early. - -Meyer quick 5 - -like - - - BAM quick
-

I don’t know. Gonzaga’s offense is otherworldly. Baylor has the speed to rotate defensively and two big bodies to throw at Drew Timme, but idk. I think Timme might eat Baylor alive. I would feel better if Baylor still had Freddie Gillespie. Also going to depend on how the game is called.

Baylor offense is otherworldy today. - - I think Baylors 4 guards gonna give Gonzaga fits the way they pass the ball - don’t think Gonzaga ha seen a defense as good as Baylor’s defense in the tourney - -gonna be a good game. Ya Gonzaga could very easily win BUT I’m sticking with baylor - -they get beat – they get beat but I don’t think they gonna be able to toy with Baylor like they have so far with other teams
-
Brutal. You hate to see it

Why do people think The Final Countdown needs to be sung by a woman on quaaludes to make it relevant? Would this epoch is American culture please end? (Miley Cyrus singing American Woman was ironic and bad enough. Stay away from… Yourself? Nevermind brain! Don’t engage!)
-
Ayayay… Ayayi
-
A lead at the first timeout. Nice!
-
Jaquez! These guys came to play.
-
UCLA making Timme play defense is very smart.
-
Cronin is 10000 % right Suggs traveled - but of course it’s Gonzaga
-
UCLA been right there for the 1sr 13 minutes. - -Has to give them a little confidence
-
Again.
@BShark
-
Here come the zebras
-
Wow hot bullshit
-
UCLA getting Gonzaged - -holy crap
-
-
2 points plus foul on jaquez
-
Didn’t think UCLA’s offense was capable of scoring this many in a half against a good team.
