AUBwins 10,075 Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 As much as I love the underdog, i love the story of the Zags becoming the first true Cinderella to make it to the Top after years of building it and finishing with arguably the most dominant team in history. Also to see Mark Few get the ring he deserves. Let this be the year they end their story so we can move on from them lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 As expected Baylor is killing Houston, 45-20 at the half. We sure could have used Davion Mitchell this year. He is a player on both ends of the court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
around4ever 4,139 Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Baylor and Davion are headed to the Championship game. They took care of a good Houston team 78-59. Let’s see if Gonzaga can put away a feisty UCLA team to set up the dream matchup Monday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG-91 1,483 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 That really was a tremendous game. Both teams stepped up down the stretch. Won, not lost. This one is in the neighborhood of 1992 Duke-Kentucky to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandyclawedtiger 206 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Standing O for both teams. I thought(thought) UCLA could be tough but thought they would fade. Talent from top to bottom for both teams. Great game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slyinsocal 831 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Gonzaga almost blew it in regulation by not going to Timme more often, which they corrected in OT. Still. What a game. Big shot after big shot after big shot. Both teams played at an extraordinarily high level. That was a pleasure to watch. I hope Gonzaga / Baylor is equally as good. With a Gonzaga victory of course. 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how they respond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aublaise 199 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Was AU the only team to play both Baylor and the Gonzaga this year? Maybe that will get CP some facetime on ESPN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLAG-91 1,483 Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 The more I watch it, that Suggs block/go get it/pass sequence was as impressive a 5 seconds of basketball as I've seen in a long time. Excelling at pretty much every aspect of the game (he couldn't make the pass to himself for the basket 😏). He took care of the scoring part later on, though...

SLAG-91 1,483 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Looks like Gonzaga's best chance to get back in this has passed. Just cannot get it close enough to put any real game pressure on Baylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyinsocal 831 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 2 years ago, my son and I drove to Salt Lake City and watched Auburn destroy Kansas. In the game prior, Gonzaga beat Baylor 83-71. Both of Gonzaga's forwards from that team are in the NBA today. Clarke and Hachimura. Tonight? Lead by their guards, and relentless overall team quickness and effort, Baylor out quicked, out hustled, smothered and choked the life out of the Zags. From the opening tip, the Bears ran over and around the Zags, and never let up. Total domination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj3jordan 2,053 Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 So we could have had Davion, Cooper, Chuma, Isaac, and JT as our starting five this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
