I really only want to see Gonzaga vs. Baylor in the championship at this point. Anything else would be a huge disappointment to me.

I have more hope for Houston, but I can’t help but feel both games are blowouts. Hope I’m wrong.
Zags v Baylor is the matchup we’ve all wanted to see. Hopefully it happens, but with competitive games today.
houston gets to play the underdog today
can ucla (or anyone) slow down the machine? tempo will be interesting in that one

Will be fun to see how Houston will play this time when they are actually the underdog, their lack of offense can be a serious issue as their defense wont be able to win this game for them alone.
Even if UCLA upsets Gonzaga, lets not forget that Virginia lost to UMBC in the first round by hmm, 20pts...
Well there you go. If UCLA wins, it would have to be the largest upset.
Houston is overrated. Should have lost to Rutgers. Rutgers who was a 10 seed is the highest seed they have had to beat in this tourney. UCLA/Gonzaga will be the better game iyam
Going against point spreads and efficiency ratings. Should be interesting. I don't see it.
I think that's the Supreme Court's definition for obscenity.
Houston isn't going out without a fight.
I just don't see how they win that game. ..
They can't guard everyone..
Different when you have 3 players who can create compared to 1.
Most teams have 1 and Houston can use Jarreau

Interesting story is Alvin Brooks II vs Alvin Brooks III.
The older Brooks is on the Houston staff. Is actually going to back to his alma mater Lamar to be the Head Coach after the season.
The younger Brooks is on the Baylor staff.
Both have been around Texas Basketball for awhile
The Older Brooks was recruited by Billy Tubbs at Lamar . Led them to a Sweet 16.

and yet it's not the biggest tourney upset by spread. 15-seed Norfolk State was a 21.5 point underdog before beating 2-seed Missouri in 2015. UMBC was ONLY a 20.5 point underdog lol. Granted, UMBC beat UVA by far more points than Norfolk State beat Missouri.
I think only two fanbases would disagree.
Wouldn’t cry if UCLA pulled off a miracle though.
I’ll be rooting for UCLA for sure, I’d love to see a good game and hope you’re right
Mick Cronin two games away from having the same amount of titles as Gary Williams, Izzo and Self!!!
Curious though, how many pts would UVA have been favored if DeAndre Hunger was not hurt?
I don't think they lose that game with Hunter healthy. So the hypothetical spread would be irrelevant for this discussion.
No clue. We also didn't have Jay Huff for that game. Two of our best defenders out. Obviously, we still should have won that game but oh well.
UCLA will have to play nearly perfect. Harassing defense, limit Zag runs, not turnover the ball like USC, and shoot lights out. Then they might have a shot.
