What was it? Were the Zags still a 13.5 point favorite this morning?

Was talking about the two team over.

And of course they both start bricking once I say that haha.

I didn't bet it though forgot. Might have to take a stab at the second half.

I mentioned it here yesterday and was probably too heavily invested in it, but Zags first half (-7.5, also grabbed it at -6.5 earlier this week) was my favorite bet this weekend. When I know the Zags are interested, I generally always love the Zags laying the first half number.

I don’t think the over was free money. First half over was 74.5, it covered, but didn’t fly over. I think the game total was 154, I could be wrong.

Somebody needs to tell Wally Szczerbiak that Silvio Dante wants his hair back!

I'm in a small pool. Currently 4th out of 15 but the top 3 already lost their champ.

6 had Gonzaga winning it all but none of them can pass me. 4 had Illinois and 5 people had unique champs. Michigan is the only other champion still alive.

Right now, I’m 3/20. I’m one point behind two others who are tied for first. We all have Gonzaga. Both of them (and the person in 4th) have Advancing in this round and into FF. A UCLA win would go a long way to helping me win it. Michigan would be nice too.

The rout is on.

At least the BEast had twice as many teams in the S16 as the B14 did.

Not a lot of doubt this game would be a blow-out. Creighton can't guard them at all. It's that simple. That said I think this game could possibly hurt Gonzaga moving forward. This is just an awful match-up for Creighton.

Gonzaga's best is better than anybody else's. Full stop. If they play their game, they cut down the nets.

Yeah, that isnt even up for debate.

Honestly if Gonzaga merely plays good, its gonna beat anything other something extreme. Outside of maybe Baylor.

Creighton needed to ring the bell much more. Too many wasted trips on shots they normally hit.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1234 on:** March 28, 2021, 02:48:14 PM »

I agree but remember how bad defensively Creighton is. That's why I'm a tiny bit concerned but there's no doubt their best is better than the rest.

I think USC can give Gonzaga a game and maybe beat them. I’d still take Gonzaga but USC is quite good

Creighton is not playing well and having a bad game due to Gonzaga too but at least they scored a few times coming out of time outs.

Eagle and Spanarkle might be my favorite broadcast team in all of sports. Heck Eagle and Fouts might have been my second favorite.

Bold take. Gonzaga is very good at basketball.

Ian Eagle is pretty much flawless in everything he broadcasts and has been for a very long time. In addition to it being a great contest , the MU/Butler 2013 tourney game is elevated even more by Eagle & Spanarkel. Personally, I think Ian Eagle (besides golf) is at a completely different level than Jim Nantz. Honestly it's like comparing Daniel-Day-Lewis to Kevin Costner.

Forever known for their Davidson v. Marquette game call.

Their only weakness is a lack of a rim protector. I'd like to see them go against Baylor's defense in a test of will. Otherwise, I don't think anyone else matches up well with them like Baylor does.
