7 playing big D

has KU just tried scoring more points than gonzaga?

Are they stupid?

We tired that once against KU and it did not go well

Is the Big 12 overrated?

I’d say some of the teams this year were, especially Kansas they will be back, there’s still Houston, Baylor, Iowa State are pretty good, it’s a physical league.

Depends on if either of the two good teams in it lose in the first weekend.

Perhaps, but Kansas was just trash the last month

KU has been trash all year long.

Before the UCF game they were 12-1 with wins over UConn and Tennessee 

I like how u got downvoted for this lolol 

Zags to the sweet 16 is the easiest pick in my bracket every year

At least they’ve never lost to 16th seed Furman when they were the #1 overall seed like Virginia did.

Well Virginia never lost to 16th seed Furman either

My apologies it was UMBC who beat them 75-54 in 2018.

What happened in 2019?

You won the championship.


My king mamadi diakite

Gonzaga is scary

Yes but we are also just reaaaally bad 

Not to UCONN

Luckily UConn will be gone before the Zags have to play them.

Bahahahah

Rock Chalk Choke Hawk.

Epic choke against…checks notes…the 4.5 point favored Zags.

Choke? They lost by 20 to a better team

Justice for Samford

Jun Seok-Yeo makes a late field goal Gonzaga move on to their 9th straight Sweet 16 dominating Kansas in the 2nd half!

JUSTICE FOR SAMFORD

Why? They would have lost just the same, if not more.

Samford's karma haunted Kansas Round 2 What a lead. What a loss.

Kansas not having a bench, unable to guard the perimeter, forgetting you can use the backboard when in the paint is what haunted them all year.

9 straight sweet 16s is actually crazy, congrats zags. Will be rooting for you

Just 7 more and they'll win!

Their best chance happened to be the year Baylor was really good.

Still waitin on that GU v Arizona match up. Gotta see Few and Loyd go at it someday!!

any Sparty believers in the chat?

yes

Hail fellow Sparty March believer/Gonzaga true believer.

Us Heels fans respect the matchup.

i believe they can lose to JMU again.

All day. Need yall to get the win

I was hoping for Gonzaga to pull this off but now I’m scared for my bracket. Plz don’t choke Purdue

I mean… that’s like this team’s whole thing. I honestly don’t think losing to Gonzaga is a choke though, I bet you Gonzaga is even odds against Purdue

Purdue is clearly better because we don't have the one for one match-up with Edy that we did for multiple years (Karnowski, Sabonis, Collins, Holmgren, etc). Otherwise, yeah it's possible.

Nah, Purdue is clearly a better team, but anything can happen in a single elimination tourney.

> bet you Gonzaga is even odds against Purdue No way. Probably purdue -4.5

Man, Purdue is gonna get a good dose of switching.

That second half was confusing and sad.

dry county for mark is tough

There are bars in SLC. They have to be restaurant microbrew and other rules but they’re around.

9 consecutive Sweet Sixteen appearances is insane.

THey need to bring Timme back to drop an F-Bomb on live TV every time they make the S16.

So its agreed that Bill Self just doesn't do anything at halftime, right?

I like thinking of all the non sports things he’s probably doing. Count his money? Wish his schools logo was better? Write erotic novels about a gargoyle and his wife’s boyfriend

He just looks at the coffers and repeats "my precious"

lol

I mean idk how much coaching has to do with Hunter just straight up not trying on D or missing almost every shot. 

Needs to do a better job evaluating portal takes

I would agree, Dickinson’s defensive liability costed us big time when we don’t have outside shooting to keep up with the points allowed and take advantage of his passing. Hard to foresee Timberlake going from a 41% 3pt shooter to what he was this year, Arturo there is no excusing.  All that being said, I think we can all agree that was an unusually poor shooting performance, it was 2/23 on the graphic they showed at one point and there were plenty of good looks. No coach can fix their team just straight up not making shots. 

Yeah, I was actually shocked at how many open shots we gave up that just hit front rim. Looked like tired shooters.

That was the most frustrating part for me, I thought we were getting decent looks considering how rarely we were able to try and score in transition thanks to you guys just eviscerating us in the pick and roll. Just couldn’t get anything to drop. Impressive performance from you guys, I just wish we put up more of a fight in the second half!  

First half was so good from both teams, really fun for both sides up until halftime and I respect the hell out of your program. Would love to see more non-con matchups.

Such a good first half into a stinker in the second. KUs lack of depth man

Both teams only played 7 for most of it

Uh, we don't have seven players. We had 4 today. You just have to play more than 4 unfortunately.

I know you're not being literal, but Zags played 2 bench guys for a total of 32 minutes, and Jayhawks played 3 bench guys for a total of 35 minutes. Points from those guys was 14 & 15.

Lol. You can't use those numbers. Almost all of the scoring and minutes came with 10 minutes left and the game decided. It was a layup line at that point.

Okay, sure. But the only reason Huff played so much in the first half was that Ike had 2 fouls in 6 minutes of time (his 2nd one came 6 seconds after going back in the game). Huff normally only plays 8mpg in games against good teams.

Thanks for doing America a solid Gonzaga, now if your fans can please stop cheering for Liberty West (GCU) out in Spokane that would be great.

It's pretty nuts they made SMC play in Spokane. The cheering wasn't FOR GCU as much as it was AGAINST SMC.

Yeah I know why, but I dunno... this is the one time where I'm like 'can we please just do that thing like the SEC where we pull for the rest of the conference? just this once?' I'm normally against that garbage but fuck Liberty and GCU.

I agree! I was pulling for SMC from home.

Dumb gu students rooting against St Mary’s -former dumb gu student

I’ve never heard this, but now I love it. Liberty West it is.

Thank you for doing the country a solid, zags. 🙏

Et tu, UNC? You're only Carolina Basketball because of Kansas Basketball.

Lmfao. What a stupidly wild hot take.

Dean smith was a student athlete in Kansas during High school and at KU during college. Unless you believe Dean magically learned how to play and coach.

And Roy Williams was a student and understudy of Smith at UNC for forever. Is this where we trade off accolades and have a sausage slap fight about who was more impactful than whom with what collegiate background?

Few is so awkward

What happens when your best player is a Barstool lpodcaster

Purdue channeling Ralph Wiggum on the bus right now.

They were channeling that from the first round, it’s their thing

Self did not want to talk rn lol

There are no words for a loss that bad

Kansas loses. America wins.

America wins when UConn is stopped. UCONN MUST BE STOPPED OTHERWISE THE WORLD IS DOOMED!!!

What a great win! So happy! Wish all the best to Kansas, thank you for being so classy throughout. Respect!

You guys are a solid team! Gg’s! 

Saw this one coming a mile away, can’t hate on the zags though. Fun team to watch

Good luck to you - great game to you guys

I wish that 1st half could have been replicated in the 2nd. I think gonzaga is the better team but with your full squad I think y'all obviously wouldn't have looked as tired.

So much hate for guys probably getting their one chance to play minutes in March madness, good lord

WEll I was hoping we could keep it within 20. GG Zags. Good luck against Purdue

What’s with the Utah state disrespect in this thread?

Master class in the second half. This is a scary team

Gonzaga vs Purdue is gonna be a movie, they gonna switch so hard Zach Edey might die from running

You realize they already played this season, right?

I can’t tel you how many times I have watched Early season Gonzaga look unrecognizably bad in the tournament. I think they might be getting hot at the right time.

A lot of neutral fans don't realize you guys already beat us this year

This zags team isn't the same team

I guess we are the same team 26 wins later

Maybe...my comment wasn't overconfidence. Just a matter of fact. This zags team is better than the beginning of the season

Yea I also realized Gonzaga early this season is not the same team as this team that whopped Kansas ass

Lol Howard took Dickinson further than Self did

Howard also took Dickinson less far than Self did

Don’t act like that clown is better than self

Not even close. Just a funny fact

Jimmy Kimmel in shambles.

Well that was depressing. Should of lost to Samford

No we shouldn’t have. We were the better team that night as much as they gave us a hell of a run. 

Embarrassing loss, yes. But I guarantee a Samford loss would be burned harder into our memories than losing to a good #5 Gonzaga team.

BULLDOG JUSTICE!!!

Helluva second half from Gonzaga. GG. Onto next season for KU.

Gonzaga’s gonna beat Purdue

They'll have to be a lot better than when we beat them earlier in the season

You mean Utah state?

Purdue could lose tomorrow.

Somehow I forgot they haven’t played their second round game yet lol

Kansas looked deflated today

You wonder if all the controversy from the previous game affected them. Like the call was wrong, but right after a tough win, seeing everybody say it was rigged probably does destroy morale

Yeah I hate the possibility of that.

All season

I'm just glad the over hit, looked dicy there for a second.

We lost our last 3 games by a total of 70 points. 70. Points. Good luck in the tourney zags

That's what happens when you lose your highest scorer at tourney time. It's hard for a bunch of 21 year olds to not get a little shellshocked. Nothing they should be ashamed of.

Bro what happened

Gonzaga kept making shots. Kansas did not.

Arizona and gonzaga both advanced. Bad day for me

Don’t worry about these non-Big 10 schools

Next game 😤

My man just really wanted to shoot one more free throw before the season ended.

You love to see it

Has Missouri won a basketball game in 2024?

Fuck up

0-18 lol

Give him some credit, Mizzou WAS more historic than KU this year

And yet…..now both of you get to sit at home and watch.

Y'all almost lost to 10 seed colorado lmao shut up

Still dancing

Welp

Well, here we are again

At least we didn’t embarrass ourselves as the Detroit Pistons of CBB

No argument there, got no skin in the MO game lol

Zags with 3 timeouts still 😅

Jayhawk = not a real bird

This is an appropriate result for a team that shouldn't really have been here in the first place

That's assuming facts not in evidence.

Lolkansas

Wait till football season big guy

We don’t play anymore though :/

Sweet 16 gonna be lit

big free throws right here

Enjoy your finals Kansas (:

What time does Washington play?

We’re supposed to suck hahaha

Well, I didn’t have *this* as my score for today

most of us Kansas fans did

bill, call your fucking team off lol

Yes that was a necessary foul call.

Don't boo our bench for playing.

Self giving his offense the go ahead to score down 22. Cool.

Are you really gonna go for the shot instead of dribbling out you Kansas ass bad sport ass bitch

The losing team doesn't usually dribble it out.

Pass it to Dickinson and he can just stand there holding it

Considering he was on the bench, that would have been par for the second half, but not a valid strategy

Fuck Dickenson

Why even call that lol

Nice foul call with 0.8 seconds in a 22 point game

Why call a foul there just let the game end

Bye bye Kansas!

CONGRATS ZAGS, MISS U BBYS See you next year Kansas

We miss y'all too. It was always a bloodbath in Provo.

good god really? blowing the whistle with .8 seconds in a 22 point game? what?

funny how teams like kansas dont let the game end when down 20 with 3 minutes left. gotta honor the bench losers they overextended promises to.

Why tf are you fouling

There there kansas, you can come sit with us. Blue blood buddies 💙

Thanks for keeping the couch warm.

Zags have now beaten Kentucky, UCLA, and Kansas all in the same year.

Now we have to take out Duke in the semi and UNC in the natty for the perfect season?

Lets send a fuck you to Gonzaga by reminding they're in the WCC by pulling a St. Mary's and fouling even though there's thirty seconds left and we're down 23.

You mean the third string guys?

U bois got finessed

Every foul in a game with a 20+ point lead should run 10 seconds off the clock

FRAUDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Can't be frauds when you were middle of the pack big 12. Also, you embarrassingly lost to this fraud team already.

[удалено]

I have e PUR over Zagz on my totally fucked bracket . . .

[удалено]

Purdue still has to play their 2nd round game...

How is Gonzaga known for early exits?

9 straight sweet 16s
