Seems unfair when a team doesn't miss a shot.

I don't really like where college basketball these days but I can appreciate the multi diving on the floor stuff from Creighton there.
I mean, this is ideal college basketball. Both teams playing hard but running free flowing offenses and making shots.
I still think Gonzaga covers, but kudos to Creighton for staying within reach for this long
I feel like I’ve never actually seen O’Connell make a shot
His hairstyles set Duke white guys back decades. Irreparable damage.
Suggs is such a polished freshman PG. He plays with great effort, is unselfish, and so smart. Sometimes he plays a little too fast, but Gonzaga couldn't ask for anything more from their first incoming one and done freshman.
Eh, I don't see that personally- however, Mobley vs Timme will be a treat to watch...
That’s not happening....in fact it’s crazy to think they just need to hit a decent percentage to beat GU by 10+
Defensively, USC is the most dangerous team to Gonzaga left in the tournament. I don't think it's particularly close either.
I don’t think they’ve faced a team with close to the length, athleticism or defensive ability of USC this year.
I think they can slow the pace and take away a lot of those fast break points, and also dominate the boards. I‘d expect Timme to have a rough time inside.

They haven't. Plus playing the Mobley Brothers means that Watson and Timme have to be on the court at the same time. And Gonzaga would prefer to go small at the 4 with Kispert. Timme is a great post player, but he is a below the rim guy. He won't have as much success against USC.

Well it's lining up just like you imagined. Let's see what Gonzaga does to end the game.
after the initial flurry to start the game, the live total was in the 170s lol pretty lucky win
I agree that USC is dangerous to Gonzaga defensively, but I think FSU could potentially provide issues too.
Both USC and FSU are elite at 2 point% defense and both are great shot blocking teams. But FSU generates more steals and would have the length/physicality at the point guard position to disrupt Suggs’ ability to get Gonzaga into its sets.
FSU’s biggest issue defensively would be giving up too many offensive rebounds, but that’s not a huge strength of Gonzaga. Not a weakness but not a strength either.
Nailed it as usual.
Former Gator Nembhard looked really good today-although to be fair, he is playing with more talent than he did at UF.
Not in the same way. The Zags would be just fine with FSU's ball pressure. They will move the ball and back cut FSU to death. This isn't a team that folds under pressure. Obviously length and athleticism makes for good defenses, I'm just more concerned with the length AND size of USC's twin towers.
It'll be interesting, we have another combo guard coming in next year that is rated higher than Suggs was. But Nembhard should run the show more next year.
Relatively low scoring game for Gonzaga with only 83 points.
How many shots do you think Gonzaga made today that you considered tough shots? I feel like every shot they took today was an open look.

You predicted that last game, too.
Makes up for the one on Balsa on the other end. also thought the explanation by JT was pretty spot on, if he was faced toward him its a no call
Lol Michigan fans knew livers was done and obviously so did the team. This “announcement” changes nothing
I didnt say Michigan would lose last game, it was against LSU and I thought beating such a team shouldnt be too hard and you wouldnt need Livers for that.
I said they looked weak might fall if they aint playing well, it wasnt definite. This game, I am quite sure, Michigan is done.
