I agree that Gonzaga has gotten the better whistle.

But apparently the reincarnation of Bob Marley doesn't care.  Huge triple.

Good thing Campbell has such a huge head of hair. He hit the floor pretty hard on that last foul, but he had plenty of cushion.

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

That doesn’t affect my view on this, brew.

Many sports historians consider that one of the five biggest upsets in the history of sports, right up there with Douglas over Tyson, the US hockey team over Russia, etc.

The Zags have no Ewing equivalent.

Others obviously are free to think otherwise.

Zags look a little bit slow on defense..... solid defense and they would be blowing UCLA out .   But uncle is making good shots

I will amplify Mr. 82 point of view.

Ewing and Georgetown were widely expected to romp over Nova and Coach Massimino.

Villanova over Georgetown was a huge upset.  This would be objectively greater.

Sports writers tend to over romanticize the past. Not surprised that MU82 is doing the same.

Cronin is a top 5 coach in CBB. This run cements that.

That’s pretty aggressive. This is only his second time in the second weekend.

Both teams have great hair. I think Tyger gives UCLA the overall hair edge.

Not sure if Cronin is top five. But he is clearly very good. And UCLA should be thrilled that he ended up there.

I don’t see why people keep overlooking the fact that Nova and Georgetown played two single–digit games doing the regular season that year. Georgetown was a heavy favorite, but the teams were not nearly as widely separated as some seem to recall.
