I checked Rafters bracket I'm 15 and only me and 2 in front of me still have our title winner alive. However I would gladly lose just to see my pick UCONN go down.

UConn is somehow going to win another championship. So crazy. Of their four titles, only one time were they a one seed.

This is how good Norwell was in his last 2 games. He averaged 25 points 15 assists and 5 steals. No other NCAA OR NBA player has done that in a 2 game stretch in the past 25 years

I disagree 100% .. you dont play for 2 with less than 10 sec left . Take the three and attempt to tie the game . Not enough time to extend the game any longer in the college setting , pro yes , but not in college
It’s a great debate. You’re really counting on the other team to miss a foul shot so that you’re down 2 next time down vs. 3 but there’s really no true right answer

If UCONN wins the tourney, that will be 5 since 1999. Can they make a claim to blue blood status?

Honest question - do you think Timme spends more time on the court making basketball plays or trying to draw a foul like a *****? Thoughts?

UConn looks to have more talent Zags more experience

Obviously this is just my opinion, but I don't know what happened to UConn in conference other than they have some very talented teams in the BE(StJ and SH were just bad losses). They were the best team in the non-conference. Even looked better than Bama I thought. Really had no business being a 4-seed with the way they played those first 15 games. A 1-seed talented team with a 4-seed body of work.

Crazy to think Uconn didn’t even finish top 3 in Big East or make Big East tourney finals.

Officials took out Johnson & Timme purposely by a myriad of BS calls. FAU & UConn play thug ball. F them & F the officials & F the NCAA.

Yes and due to proximity they will always be propped up by ESPN. Think we have our first new Blue Blood if they get #5

What the hell has happened to the Zags. I'm not watching out of principle, but damn, the score.

I went from a few points to nearly 20.

Haven't watched the whole game but that 4th foul was pretty much legit .. he takes his arm and really shoves the guy , very unnecessary .

Timme got his 4th foul with 17 minutes left went to bench been out scored like 17-3 since
Which goes to show Zags last chance at a title run could be right here.

I haven't seen much about their incoming class....but no one is replacing Holgren (gone I know) and now Timme.

Zags are about to shrink back into obscurity.

Started the evening with a Nowell loss and now Timme is getting has a$$ handed to him. It’s been a good night.

Texas is the last team left that can beat UConn. Creighton/ FAU I don’t think can, SDSU can make it a defensive slugfest but do they have enough scoring

As it stands now, nothing brings me greater joy than watching Timme and the Lords of the Underworld go down hard. I can't stand that dude.
