RTR!!

UCLA dictating the pace...not good for the Zags

 

[bvandegraff]

UCLA 3-4 on FT's. Zags 0-0. If you think UCLA has actually committed only 1 foul so far, I have some oceanfront property in New Mexico to sell you......

The way the game is evolving now, you may have to add a 4th referee on the floor. The 3 ref system is missing so many calls.

This is making me even more sick that we didn’t get past these guys. We missed a Golden opportunity at the End this year.

I hate this hand-checking, slapping, knocking people off the ball style. The NBA managed to largely do away with it and then the cry went up "They don't play any defense"...

Was thinking the same. On a positive note, that's how far Oats took this program in 2 years. He's just getting started.

A 1-point game at the half yet it has failed to grab and hold my attention. Maybe the second half will be more intriguing/exciting, or something.

UCLA played their best half all season. It still wasn’t enough. I think Zags pull away.

 

[Krymsonman]

UCLA still playing the throw it up and it will go in game. If the Zags can really up the tempo can they keep up. Looks like they may be losing a step now. Still don't know how UCLA was a play in team.

And UCLA goes up 71-70 with 6:04 left. Unbelievable.

 

[Bpilktree]

Zags are not playing their game for some reason few guys trying to do too much instead of team ball getting it inside and getting open shots close.

 

[BhamToTexas]

45% all year.
44% this tourney.
56% tonight.
That is how they are in the game. Hitting everything they throw up.

 

[Bpilktree]

I am still not sure we could stay with Zags we like playing fast which is not how you beat them. You gotta play slow efficient and limit turnovers which is what UCLA doing. You turn it over they turn it to points very fast.

 

[Bpilktree]

Why take Timme out with under 4 to play.

Always happens to them in the tourney for some reason. Don’t know if they are going to dig this one out.

 

[TideEngineer08]

I don't know whether to feel sick, or to feel better about our lot at this point.

I'm stunned at Gonzaga.

 

[NationalTitles18]

Murder ball is back!

Because the ncaa basketball tournament committee is the biggest clown show in sports, followed closely by the football playoff committee.

They looked awful down stretch with 4 straight losses.
