Yeah, they talk all game about Suggs being a football player...clearly not a running back if he goes down that easily.
Looked like Suggs was ready to fight. Suggs/Harkless would be a good fight. Not sure who I would take in that matchup, tbh.
You're killing it, like always.

6 straight Sweet 16 appearances for Gonzaga! Extending the longest streak in the country!
I was right or wrong about 50% of the time each, just you remember the times when I was wrong.

Yeah, it's the Sheriff approach.
That 18 Nova team is perhaps the 2nd best in the 21st century after 07 Florida.
Oklahoma just shot 50 percent from the field and lost by 16. If people don’t think Gonzaga is the real deal than you aren’t paying attention. They are the best team since nova in 2018
Kentucky in 2012 was pretty dominant. Lost only two games. Beat both of the teams that beat them during season as well. One of the losses was a buzzer beater
And keep in mind that OU's largest loss in the Big 12 season was a 15-point loss at Baylor. OU played reasonably well, and Gonzaga still won comfortably. I think USC's length and Oregon's athleticism might present the biggest challenge to the Zags in this region. Still hard to bet against them.
I think Oregon just dunked again. Sorry Iowa fans. Too soon? Garza had a great career and seems to be a real good dude.

Didn't OU throat bang Nova in Hawaii, then get bent over later by Nova when it counted.
CBS doofus really doubled down and said Oregon should have been a 7 seed 🤣
I agree, USC's length could give them real problems. Oregon can beat them too.
Last year's KU would beat Gonzaga???
Florida isn't even top 3 title teams in the 21st century though.
Overlooked Nova, they are right there too. One of the best teams of the last 20 years.
I'm more concerned over what teams this year could beat Gonzaga. Who cares what team could beat them in the past?
Yes, I'm aware. Alondes Williams got more minutes because of that, and he was the second most effective player for OU.
This is a complete potato response. Espn ranked the best tourney winners and Florida was the 4th best team from the 21st century behind 2012 Kentucky, 2008 ku, and 2009 North Carolina. I’d put 2018 Villanova over Florida but behind those other three.
You guys underestimated the difficulty and challenge of repeating. That Florida team was the team to beat since the beginning of the season and everyone studied them and was preparing hard to take them down, and yet they still won and was never in danger of losing in any of these 6 games.
And they would have gotten beaten by any one of the three teams mentioned above them. In fact ku played them in 07 on a neutral court and beat them.
I'm not saying it would be easy, but yeah, why not?
You don't think Azubuike would dunk all over this team? You don't think Dotson could take their guards off the dribble? You don't think Garrett could contain the hot hand?
That team played some of the best defense we've seen in a long time and got a ton of high-percentage buckets. Good formula for March.
Who's to say that Harmon wouldn't have been their most effective? They're a lot better with him, that much is clear.
Alright UCLA, I did a lot of conference honking so don't lose to some christian school now.
No? According to KenPom Gonzaga has a much more efficient offense and a top defense themselves. You could make a case they would have the three best players on the floor. They could win sure but saying they would is home board shit.
They have the highest efficiency margin the 20 years KenPom has existed right now. Kansas last year was probably like 20th highest.
My memory of that game is a little hazy, but I think Self had him switching. Which he's done for much of the season. But when Self put him exclusively on Butler vs Baylor this year, he shut him down.
