I will admit. I just paid $10 so i can reply to this clown. Who is this dude anyways, but an uneducated Kentucky homer? My lord. Kispert and Nembhard not being significantly better than Lamb and Darius Miller? Suggs not being better than Teague by a large margin? I understand most of Big Blue Nation has its head up its behind, but you my friend, take the cake. Other fan bases laugh at Kentucky fans-- there is a whole thread on Gonzaga's board about the idiotic takes that Kentucky fans have each year out of sheer jealousy of Gonzaga-- and this years 7 win team really ignited that hatred. Was it 7 games you won? 8? How many? Either way it was pitiful. Not as pitiful as your fan base though.
Only BBN has the uneducated ignorance to the level that is spewed night in and night out on your board. BBN is an embarrassment for college basketball. You think every transfer is coming your way (wrong).. sorry max abmas isnt coming Kentucky's way haha.
You think teams are dodging you-- ya i am sure Gonzaga would had to face the lottery pick that is Brandon butterfingers Boston or Terrance 'i broke a finger nail' Clarke.
BBN is so stupid, i read the other day that this GU team would be the 5th best team in that 2015 year. That they would not win the SEC this year, and that the 2nd platoon on kentuckys 2015 team would beat this Gonzaga team. Dont believe me? Go check out Kentucky's message board.
Gonzaga has at least four future pro's-- all will be first rounders. Nembhard was a 2 year starter as a freshman and sophomore in your vaunted SEC at Florida and came here and started the year on the bench. Aaron cook barely plays and transferred from Southern Illinois after averaging 16 ppg. Dominick Harris, Julian Strawther and Ben Gregg were all top 50 recruits nationally. They only play in mop up minutes. They have 3 All americans, a 4th that got honorable mention, and nembhard who very well could have been on that list as well.
Your team sucks this year, your program is on the decline, and your jealousy for one of the better stories in sports history-- a school in Eastern washington in the middle of nowhere, rising up to the top of CBB with an undefeated record, demolishing any program in its way by an average of over 20 ppg.
Just because your 2015 team choked in the semi finals, leaving a bunch of pathetic BBN with their hands on their hips wondering wth just happened, doesn't mean you need to diminish Gonzag's historic accomplishments this year.
Social media allowed fools like you to voice your opinion-- and hopefully those educated CBB fans see right through your bs and the rest of the bs that the overwhelming majority of BBN spew on a daily basis. Not good for the sport, not really good for anything. Your arrogance and your fan bases arrogance make you the laughing stock of other fan bases.
As for the game, I wish UCLA luck. I am still bitter about '06 and even though we beat you in '15, I want more revenge. I am an LA guy so will always root for UCLA in non Zags games, and admire what Mick is doing with your program. Peyton watson will add to an already loaded roster next year, which i think will be preseason top 10.
I do not think you will beat Gonzaga, as I for one can attest this is the best GU team ever. Timme should be too much for Riley, and UCLA needs to shoot way better to keep up with Gonzaga's offense. What is underrated about this squad is their defense. The quickness of guards Nembhard, Ayayi and Suggs are not paralleled by many in CBB. Maybe Baylor. They will make life tough for Tyger, and shots not as easy for Juzang. What a stud he is though. Pure stroke. Happy you all have at least 1 more year of him.
Best of luck-- except to pathetic, jealous, BBN scum.
