It would be more on the lines of 6 out of 10. GU played just as shitty last night as UNC did.dnc said:
I agree UNC was the better team. But 9 of team is insane man.Tequilla said:
It's an unprovable point either way ...dnc said:
Of all the dumb shit poasted on a regular basis on this bored, this might be the dumbest.Tequilla said:Those teams play 10 games and Carolina wins 9 of them ...
Any over analyzing is a complete by product of people being FS and thinking that Gonzaga matched up well ... they didn't and don't
Kudos.
But yes, I do think that it is a horrible matchup for Gonzaga and I'd be surprised if many thought Gonzaga was likely to win 5 or more out of 10 games against UNC
Few would finally figure out after going down 0-4 that Perkins should play 7 minutes in the first half, then put in Rem Backamus or the Triano kid who couldn't possibly fuck things up worse than 2nd Half Perkins.

Completely agree. Karvodsky was embarrassing for absolutely no reason, or this game wasn't close.creepycoug said:They both played like shit and neither team could shoot ... AT ALL. It was disgusting.
If a less intense version of the Oregon team that showed up to punch Kansas in the mouth had been playing last night against either team, they walk, I say, WALK, away with the title w/o breaking a sweat.
I'm not sure about Bell, who was just a monster all tournament, but there aren't any future NBA all stars on that Oregon team as far as I can tell (which isn't very far - it's basketball so I barely give a shit - not real life). They just played an unforced SHIT game against NC in the semis and lost by a point. Dorsey is completely right about that. If Pritchard hits just one of the four or five really nice looks they got him at a three down the stretch, they play Gonzaga and take it.
Last night, Gonzaga benefited from an even worse shooting NC team - even Jackson couldn't hit shit, and he was on fire against Oregon.
I guess I come down on this with Tequilla - Oregon had to play real teams over and over - throughout the season, and in the tournament. If it doesn't beat you up too much, it's better preparation for a championship game, because those are always hard fought.
Gonzaga would do well to tuffen up their schedule. NC was begging them to win that game and they couldn't do it. Crappiest NC team to win a title that I've ever watched. I think if Berry doesn't have bad ankles, the Zags lose by 12+.
And, nobody has focused on this, but Gonzaga's big Polack is a punk and shat the bed Yuge. When you can lick the rim standing on your toes, I have no sympathy or understanding for you when you can't convert in the low poast. Totally unacceptable, and that guy should be on suicide watch this morning. Bell would have packing his shit all night long. -
I dont' read "Teqck's" posts, but I assume his drivel has something to do with "big fish in a small pond" for Gonzaga.RoadDawg55 said:
Doogs gonna doog. Everyone realizes they had an easy path. They made the championship game. They lost.Tequilla said:
First, these are all early in the season games before teams have really figured themselves out.RoadDawg55 said:
They play in a shitty conference. Water is wet. They also beat Florida, Arizona, Iowa State, and Tennessee. They always play good non conference games.huskyhooligan said:
Take a closer look at their schedule. As shitty as the UW schedule was, it was rated higher.RoadDawg55 said:
That's a nice post game narrative. The reality was Gonzaga lost to a slightly better team. Gonzaga beat plenty of teams this year that had major D-1 talent.Tequilla said:The only Zags on the court that looked like they were comfortable playing against major D1 talent were NWG and Collins ... everybody else more or less were outmatched in one form or another by a player that could match/exceed them in their athletic ability, height, or strength. Mathews did fine but he's just a role player. That's what he was at Cal and that's ultimately what he was at Gonzaga.
It's pretty clear at this point that Pete decided to look for opportunities outside of Boise once it became painfully obvious to him that there was only so far he could take the job at Boise. Few's pretty much just content at where he is and will never leave. It's one of the reasons why I thought it was possible that Marshall would move on from Wichita State as they face a similar issue to Gonzaga ... but them moving to the American conference will move them closer to where they need to be (Big East would have been ideal).
That wasn't an incredibly talented North Carolina team. Neither team is loaded with future NBA studs.
It was a close game the entire way. Neither team shot the ball well and the game came to a grind in the 2nd half because of the refs.
Iowa St didn't have bigs ... Arizona missing 2 of their perimeter players ...
Gonzaga needs a great draw and a little luck to get really deep ... they got that this year
You can drone on and on about matchups, Gonzaga's schedule, etc. If they hit a couple shots or free throws you have a completely different tune. They were down 1 point in the final minute.
Sometimes the game comes down to making or missing. Both teams missed a lot in a defensive game. Roy Williams commented that both teams didn't play well. You're an annoying fuck.
Both Gonzaga and Oregon were worthy of winning the title. They both shit the bed, but it has nothing to do with talent.
I too was singing the UW fight song in the Natty like a good little doog, but this is shear faggotry.
