Go Stanford! I hope they kick ass in the final!

I have to retract that. I like UA too.

Arizona, first Final Four. UConn, 21st. UConn 13 point favorite. And Arizona won by 10.

Two Pac-12 teams in final.

Damn, UCLA gave a hell of a showing. Hope Gonzaga wins the championship.

Catholics vs Baptists. Oi vey. What's a nice Jewish girl to do?

I'll watch the women.

 

[crandc]

Good start by Stanford, unlike previous two games.

Baylor 80 zags 68 finals prediction I hope i'm wrong and zags get the win

 

[crandc]

During halftime Arizona coach pumped breast milk and warmed the bottle so her infant could be fed courtside.

Any make coach have to do that during a championship game?

 

[crandc]

Stanford by three after three quarters. Every time they pull ahead Arizona goes on a run. Stanford uncharacteristically sloppy with 15 turnovers. Take care of the ball and they win. If not it could be along year.

Too many championship games end up being dull. Not this one. Stanford clinging to one point lead final seconds. They wanted to run as much time as possible off the clock, which makes sense, but (hey, aren't Stanford students supposed to be smart?) lost track and ran out clock without taking a shot. Arizona got ball with 6.1 seconds left. They got a shot but it rimmed off. Stanford won both their Final Four games by a single point.

Shows importance of making free throws. Zona missed a bunch.

Please don't let us draft him.

This is exposing some of my concerns for Timme in the NBA.

 

[Jayblaze]

Zags will never win a championship cause they play in a weak conference. Sadly

They might win tonight

 

[MickZagger]

This game is far from over

and what’s that? The NBA is a guard oriented league. He won’t get ball denial like that in the NBA

Yep. Zags got momentum now.

 

[MickZagger]

Yep. Zags got momentum now.

And Baylor is in foul trouble and will come down to earth with the 3’s

 

[MickZagger]

To dominate a 1st half and only be up by 10 is kind of deflating. Going to be a very interesting 2nd half. How Gonzaga comes out of the break will determine a lot

 

[MickZagger]

Baylor has 4 guys with 2 fouls and more. Gonzaga has 1. In college basketball that’s huge

 

[AldoTrapani]

Oh gonzaga got this easily

 

[MickZagger]

I just went into the cupboard and took a shot of some quality tequila to calm the nerves

 

[Hoopguru]

Baylor is physical and good on the boards.

I worry teams are going to put him in PnR on defense and the next level athletic bigs could give him trouble. I've only watched him play like 8 times, so maybe I'm missing something.
