I'm starting to feel like Gonzaga can win this game but I still am locked in on Uconn ML. 92% of the public is on uconn to win -2.5 and it scares me.

It's going to come down to Uconn hitting their shots and outrebounding Gonzaga and Donovan Clingan helping to neutralize Timme. The fact that Gonzaga has a couple of poor FT shooters could bode well for a close game. Gonna be an ass clencher of a game.

I know he missed damn near everything but I was pretty impressed by Miller. Left-handed passes, rebounded, great size and fluidity, I like him more than I did Jabari Smith, about the same as Banchero, who is bigger and more skilled but a question mark on D and not as good a shooter.
Where's the D?

Florida Atlantic in the final four lol

That means either one of Sdsu, Creighton, or fau goes to the championship

The first two are super underwhelming so I hope fau can pull it off lol

Creighton is the most talented of that group, not close either.

Creighton bounced SDSU last year in OT last year in the first round of the tourney.

Creighton's main problem is they have no depth. They do a great job at not fouling, especially Kalkbrenner, but if the refs all of a sudden decide to call fouls in any of the games they play from now until the end of their run they will be in big trouble.

SDSU is in a really good place mentally and Creighton has not been challenged inside this tournament like they will be by SDSU's forwards Johnson Mensah Ledee and Arop.

In the games down the stretch Creighton lost they did not win the rebounding battle in those games or it was even and they turned the ball over quite a bit. SDSU has the type of team that can give them fits and I can easily see SDSU winning.

Hawkins has that NBA 2k release everyone copies to get easy greens.

Looks good every time he puts it up.

Clingan & Hawkins are the interesting guys on UConn. Need Hawkins actual height. That team has good half court movement. Gonzaga, I don't see anybody of note.

I think I'm gonna unload on SDSU, Creighton's wins this tourney haven't been all that convincing. Baylor was a horrible team for a 3 seed with a guard heavy game. Throw real bigs like SDSU has into Kalkbrenner's living room and neutralize their 3 point shooting with the #1 defense in the nation and there's a legitimate and likely path to victory there.

Timme - the legend - is done. I was hoping for more.
