Michigan State was favored over Indiana State in 1979 right? At least that’s my recollection.

Yep.

Careless turn there by UCLA. Right now they are outplaying Gonzaga.

I have to admit while I'm rooting for Gonzaga, Timme makes it extremely difficult.

Nice to see a team not only flawlessly break a press but then aggressively go to score.

Zags are getting some friendly whistles.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1555 on:** April 03, 2021, 08:33:15 PM »

Would this be the biggest upset in F4 history? Obviously there's a long way to go but so far UCLA has controlled the game. And they may have the best player not only on the floor but in tbe entire tournament.

Easily.

No team seeded 11th or worse has ever won a final four game. The fact that it would be against a team that is shooting for an undefeated season would make it even more notable.

That was a heck of a half. Pretty strong close by Kispert and the Zags.

I don't think UCLA can score at that pace in the 2nd half. But I know Gonzaga can.

Gonzaga first half team total over 39 at -110.

I mean this number is ridiculous. In 30 games this year, Gonzaga has scored 40 or more points 27 times.

I know UCLA is going to try to control tempo and held Alabama to 29 first half points, but I would have had this at least at 40.5. I look for value spots when gambling and this sure looks like one.

This has been an incredibly profitable couple of weeks.

Nah. Georgetown was considered invincible in 1985, and Nova was bupkis. It took an almost perfect game for Nova to win.

I’m enjoying this game immensely though. If you’d have told me there’d be 89 points in the first half, I’d have though the Zags would be up 25. UCLA is playing great.

That's what I was thinking but Gonzaga's D hasn't been impressive.

FWIW looks like Georgetown was -8 in that game. Gonzaga is -14 tonight.

I haven't seen him very high in the mocks. He's been the best offensive player in the tournament and has good size.

MuggsyB · « **Reply #1569 on:** April 03, 2021, 09:10:27 PM »

UCLA is right there. You would think they have the advantage if this is tight late.

Are there 3 or 4 indoor blimps roaming around with cameras? Smh.

Yeah. That was a huge upset, but this would be bigger.

Nova played Georgetown twice in the regular season, and lost by only 2 and 7 points. They also played St. John’s twice, and lost by only 2 and 5.

Georgetown and St. John’s were the two best teams that year, but Nova was not nearly as far behind as people seem to remember.

Wow. Huge call on the hook and hold.

I don’t have skin in this game, but the officials sure are giving the Zags favorable whistles.

Danger time for UCLA

Duke beating UNLV in 1991 was a historic upset.

Agree. Gonzaga should not need any help to win this game, but they are getting it anyway.
