Yeah I think you're right, good. Still a ticky tack foul.

Fouls are going to be a Problem for UCLA before this game is done.

If I were a UCLA fan I'd be having very complex emotions about feeling disappointed that Gonzaga managed to scrape out a 1 point lead at the half.

Also I feel like whoever wins this one, assuming both teams play the same way they have today (they probably won't) is going to get absolutely *smoked* on Monday. Which is not how I was expecting to feel about today's results.

I have a *really* hard time seeing anybody smoke Gonzaga.

That's how I felt before today but also I was expecting UCLA to get done worse than Houston and instead they drat near controlled a half of basketball.

Likely just something of a blip, but still.

UCLA played basically a perfect half and is still losing, I don't see how that's an indictment of Gonzaga at all

I mean you could fault Gonzaga for not stopping their plan from going so well - I got the impression that Houston wanted to play a similar strategy against Baylor wrt playing slow, rebounding a lot, winning on defense and then of course Baylor shot it to pieces and won the first half by 25 whereas Gonzaga hasn't done the same to UCLA.

But ofc in fairness the easiest answer is likely just that I'm underrating UCLA because I haven't watched them this year. :v:

Unforced turnovers against Gonzaga seem ill-advised

I feel like this game is over if Gonzaga gets the lead above like 5 or so....

Even more lol if Baylor loses to UCLA

Gonzaga might have a better offense overall, but Baylor has the better defense and thus far that gap looks, uh

Gonzaga is shooting over 50% from the floor and have just missed a lot of wide open 3s. Their defense has been good, don't get me wrong, but they're winning because of their awesome offensive rebounding and sick guard play from these pull up 3s

I mean yea but also Gonzaga has been *pretty good* at scoring this year lol

Anyway it was my toxx that did it imo

Boy though, I thought a Baylor blowout was possible, especially given that Gonzaga had to deal with all the extra physical/emotional exhaustion of the nailbiter in the final four + the weight of completing a perfect season....but I didn't think it would actually happen!

Holy poo poo!

whatever happened to the "baylor bitch" guy

....That might've been me? I don't recall having a reputation as "the baylor bitch guy" but I said it a few times in another life, and I don't remember anyone else saying it....

Anyway I stopped posting for a while after the Briles poo poo for Obvious Reasons (gently caress Art Briles) and between the sports results and Real Life poo poo I just didn't have it in me to post about sports a lot for a few years.

National championship's enough to pull me back out for a bit, I guess.
