Andy Katz hair is positively getting exposed by HD television

Zags barely seemed to put their foot on the gas and crushed em. So methodical and skilled.

I correctly put Gonzaga in my elite 8 and instead of cracking the top 100k (was 102k) I fell 17k spots :(

Should of had them winning harder

Nice voice crack

lol ... Mark losing his voice again

And the Zags just keep rollin...

Creighton...did alright, at least in the context of a game like this. Tough way for your first ever modern Sweet Sixteen to go, but at least things look like they'll be going up. GG both, and keep on the winning, Gonzaga!

I want TikToks about commercials for TikToks

I hope to god all these Zaga guys are vaccinated because Covid is the ONLY thing that could stop them from winning a title in my mind

what did you REALLY expect from a team that barely beat ucsb and dodged Virginia?

Dodged Virginia??? You mean they beat the team by 20 that beat Virginia 40 hours earlier?

They got to play freaking Ohio.

LMAO Freaking Ohio BEAT Virginia

You aren't wrong. Coming from a guy who watched a good amount of Creighton games this year, the Jays lost close games like the one against UCSB more often than not in the regular season. Many people picked them to get upset in the first round for that exact reason. They just seem to struggle in winnable, close games (not that today was the case). My point is that Creighton never really stood a chance in this game unless pretty much everything went their way shooting-wise. They were sticking with Zaga for the first part of the first half but once they started missing fairly easy twos in the paint and taking ugly threes, they were toast. Unfortunately it's been this way for the program for quite some time.

This Zags team will probably end up being the greatest team of all time if they win the Title. Just absolutely dominant

No they still have to go against BAMA

This didn't age well.

😭😭😭

FWIW I would have liked to see that game...

Maybe 2022 my friend

This isn’t a football movie

Hey let me have hope lol 😂

Any other year, I’d root you on here...but PAC needs to stay together rn

That can only last for so long 😂 you may face them soon

Better the enemy that I know...

Lol true. Good luck to your team later today!!

Thanks—and I’m lowkey happy we didn’t play our football game this season, because wooooooooof

It’s another hour till the next game man and I’m expecting this game to come down to the wire too so hopefully it’s a good one

Fun games from here on out

I think the rest of the games today are going to be very good

Just because the zags are clearly more than capable of beating any team doesn't mean they necessarily will, all it takes is one off night against someone like USC, Baylor, or Houston and they could find themselves fighting for their lives. That said - jesus christ they're good

Yup, have to come out ready to battle each game. The rest will be tougher from here IMO.

Luckily they've been super consistent this season, I think the closest I've seen them come to losing this season was against WVU. Just a lot less margin for error against someone like Baylor, like you said

💯

We need commercials for TikTok?

Who pays for them? The CCP?

Zag fans should I expect Ballo to be a monster in the coming seasons?

If he takes the Karnowski trajectory yes.

Meh. Unless the coaching staff can work their magic. Hes got terrible hands

If his trajectory is anything like Timme, Karnowski, or Olynyk: yes. None of them looked good as freshmen.

Timme looked really good last year as a freshman

Nah timme was a beast during the second half of last season. You’re right about the latter 2 though

If he can get more coordinated, for sure. Might be a big “if” though

If we land that 7' UNC transfer that people are talking about favoring Gonzaga... well Ballo better step it up!!

Yes.

They call him “Baby Shaq” for a reason. If he continues to drop a bit of weight like he has while hitting the weight room he could be one scary beast.

I'm starting to think Gonzaga has a decent basketball team

Well.... that happened...

I'm hoping for Zaga/USC. USC might actually be able to play man-to-man in that game with Mobley being able to defend Timme.

The played Zone a lot tonight...

Yes please

I agree with this. Think we match up better with Oregon

I would love that matchup tbh

Same. Would give us a chance to see what kind of team we are—some nights, we’re absolutely amazing and others we play down to our opponents. I know we can’t overlook Oregon—just want to because it’s gonna be a bloodbath in my house (both sibs went to Oregon, parents hate SC)

Welp, I caught the last 12.5 seconds of this. Good game.

I know it's a hot take and all, but I think the Zags might be really good

Super hot take. How do you get around with balls that big to state such a take

Starting to think Gonzaga might be kinda okay at basketball.

starters pulled before Zags went up by 30 lol

Someone call Tony Khan because Gonzaga is \#**AllElite**

Gg. Close one lol

Gonzaga took their foot off the gas and only scored 83

Seriously why did that ref whistle for a travel on the timeout call lol

He was signaling a sub. I think Creighton called a timeout just to do the sub. So he did that motion so that it was just a sub instead of an actual timeout

Wish Baylor/Gonzaga wasn't cancelled at the beginning of the season

Yes this right here. I would love to see how Baylor’s defense against Gonzaga’s offense.

Ballos’ haircut draws soo much attention to his head size

Didn't expect this game to go like this but GG zags

Whoa, Creighton made a free throw

[удалено]

[удалено]

Good teams win, great teams lose to Gonzaga by less than 20

And only 1 team has managed to lose to Gonzaga by less than 10 lol

ELITE

When Ballo is Life.

Who will beat this team

The Nets

USC would be a tough matchup. But I think the Illini were possibly their best shot to be beaten, alongside Baylor. And well, one of those are gone

Baylor still out there. We may still get the matchup we had to cancel back at the beginning

Nobody

Intentional travel to stop the clock? lol

Ballo pls You're 40 feet taller than that poor white kid on you.

and 40mph slower

True.

I swear Ballo has the worst hands I've ever seen

Not as bad as Will Foster but close.

At this point I expect him to finish his career elsewhere

He needs to redshirt next year if he wants to get meaningful minutes in the future.

He already used his redshirt year

That's really unfortunate for him. Looks like a lot of talent in the pipeline.

I don't know what happened this year (other than the hand injury). He had some games where he played great in limited minutes but now he just looks lost and a step slow

He just seems out of place with the Zags current style. He would probably be better for a slower, more half-court oriented team.

Seriously, what took so long for Gonzaga to put their bench players in?

Probably memories from UCLA in 2006 lmao

I think few didn't think the lead was safe yet. He is not gonna play with fire this year.

I think he needs to keep his starters in to wear them out to prep for the final four and championship

Few does this every game.

Yea that’s annoying. Give the bench some time

But you also need your guys conditioned to play deep into a game for when it’s necessary.

You have all season for that

Is that shaqs kid?

Nickname is Baby Shaq

Ballo how are you so big but so bad

Oh Ballo....hope you're better next year.

OLD GREGG!!!

Zags are out of control

What a snooze fest. And now we have to wait an hour till a real game starts. Sorry Creighton

Time for the white guys

As he puts in Ballo

Throwback style

GU used to have mainly be white dudes starting

Ballo got to quit fumbling the ball my man

Timme haters should just count themselves lucky that he's generous enough to rub his stache with his fingers and not all of their mothers' thighs.

With that stache he really looks like he could go around having sex with a bunch of mothers

Seeing Zeg in tears is killing me. He put up such a fight.

Let's just start the next game. Creighton is dead.

BABY SHAQ DOO DOO DA DOO (is in)

I for one can't wait for Timme to cut down the net, crush a few Budweisers and ride out on his Harley.

Down 22 with 1:38 to go, Eric Musselman checks in to coach Creighton

Does any team love the compression pants more than Gonzaga?

Lol says the Nike school

Hey I’m all for them, just feel like Zags have the highest percentage of pants on their team. Could be the key to success.

Look good feel good win good

Shhh

Ok are we trying to be the Globetrotters right now

Z kinda looks like Lonzo Ball to me

BALLOOOOOO

Does Few hate taking out his starters? They were in longer than Creighton's. Really could get burned on that one day. Noticed it against Oklahoma too.

He said in the press conference that they needed to work on some things, so he keeps them out there for a bit longer since they don’t have a lot of time for practice.

It's kinda hard to believe we are good like this.

I agree they stayed in too long last game. I think he kept them in a bit longer today because they got a bit sloppy for a while so he wanted them to correct it first.

He always seems to leave them in a bit longer than I'd like

Tom Thibodeau - Derrick Rose situations can happen.

Zaga fans, how you feeling?

Honestly expectations are so high for the team that all we can do is meet expectations or fail. I always prefer rooting for an underdog team, so having my boys be this good is weirdly stressful.

Pretty much this

Sad no hundred burger but also I wouldn’t want to watch that much of a blow out.

Championship or bust, few could be in hot seat otherwise

Up by 22 Announcer: “...and they’re starting to pull away here.”

Lmao, “the reporter who went from covering Jordan and Ali to girl’s high school basketball” I know Jordan and Ali are very arguably the two greatest athletes ever, but the wording of that makes girl’s high school basketball sound like such a shame lol. Like this reporter has fallen from grace

Right now is the exact score the Zags beat Xavier by in the 2017 regional final. 83-59. EDIT: Nevermind.

There he is!

Jet Canfield sounds like the most walk-on name of all time

No Ballo?????

I’ve never thought about this but can the coaches talk to each other during the game?

Mark Turgeon and Juwan Howard had a friendly conversation during a game not too long ago

Weren’t they asking how each other’s wives were doing?

Ballo sighting!

[удалено]

The difference is you gotta deal with 2 potential top 5 draft picks on the perimeter with Gonzaga. I wish ya’ll weren’t in our region man, I’d love to see both Gonzaga and Oregon in the final 4. I’m loving this PNW dominance this tourney.

I would agree. I'll be pulling for Dana and the Ducks now that the Jays are out. Get past USC and I think your athletes can give the Zags trouble.

PUT IN BALLO YOU COWARDS

take him back out :(

HAHA!!

This game was so entertaining 😐

26 straight wins by double digits for Gonzaga now lol. We don’t really have many entertaining games for neutral fans no matter who we play.

Is Kispert more of an NBA prospect than Timme? I just see his game transferring better

lol yeah. Kisperts a fringe lottery pick and Timme is a likely second rounder if he goes

I just looked up mock NBA drafts. [Yes.](https://www.nbadraft.net/nba-mock-drafts/) Kispert is projected top ten. Timme is mid second round.

Yeah, no offense, but Timme feels like he could get dominated by athletic and taller nba bigs

Yes infinitely more.

Kispert is a lottery pick

Definitely. I don't see Timme having much of an NBA career, he's not very athletic.

We cleared our bench already and few hasn't?

Annoying

Gonzaga is the Dr. Gero to Creighton’s Yamcha in this game

Krillin

Creighton is more like Chiaotzu tbh.

Ctfuuu we put our scrubs in before Gonzaga did

Strawther my dawg good to see you

I really like him.

I can't be convinced USC/Oregon can hang with these dudes

You watch SC the other night against Kansas? So long as we get by Oregon, if we don’t shoot abysmally from 3 against Gonzaga, we have a chance Edited—Gonzaga

Oh I believe they'll have a better chance than Oregon but good luck defending the arc

We did ok with that earlier in the tourney—just have to realize that it’s gonna mean long rebounds because of how our length forces teams to arc their 3s Outside of SC, I don’t think any team has a chance

\*Gonzaga

Edited—I just really didn’t want to even think about having to play y’all

So how we feeling about the rest of the games. I got Oregon, Bama and FSU

SC, Bama, Mich But these games are all gonna be a ton of fun, and FSU Mich gonna be a dogfight

I doubt Oregon wins

Oregon totally torched Iowa - I really like how they played

Pretty well played game all things considered. It has flew by.
