FYI: they’re in the Boise sub-regional, making that pretty close to a home game for them (6 hour drive).The Zags sure do travel well. A national following for a mid major.
WowsersCould we um, go back to that Elvin Hayes shot again? Thanks.
I can’t get over it. You had some moron in the paint playing free safety guarding nobody. There was 3.6 seconds and they were clearly going to take a 3. No rebound opportunities given the time.I've beat this drum all week but Sampson strikes again. Terrible situation coach. Pitino ('92) shrugs. Wow.
A well-designed defense and Mich is getting some 40 foot runner as their attemptI mean, that was a very low probability, highly contested shot that went in. If it missed, no one would have mentioned the bad defense.
Absolutely. I had no dog in this fight but get annoyed when coaches make these kinds of mistakes. Mich still could have found a way to win but nailing that first pass is much tougher with a 6’10 dude in your face.Ok, also true. But as someone with no rooting interest in this game, that was a very exciting make.
Yup. With only 3.6 seconds left. Make the first pass extremely difficult. It's almost basketball 101 at this point.Absolutely. I had no dog in this fight but get annoyed when coaches make these kinds of mistakes. Mich still could have found a way to win but nailing that first pass is much tougher with a 6’10 dude in your face.
Gonzaga is no mid-major. They are a major school playing in a mid-major conference.The Zags sure do travel well. A national following for a mid major.
In-game coaching in the college game is SOOOOO important and some of the biggest names are the absolute worst. Sampson, Roy and probably Self leading the way. Mind boggling it really is.Yep, guy can't run the baseline you HAVE to put someone in his face there. And if you don't you can't let the first pass get to half court. Just terrible defense.
UConn women are also similarly a mid major. HahaGonzaga is no mid-major. They are a major school playing in a mid-major conference.
Agree with all of this.Absolutely. I had no dog in this fight but get annoyed when coaches make these kinds of mistakes. Mich still could have found a way to win but nailing that first pass is much tougher with a 6’10 dude in your face.
