Wow, Mitchell is some player. Plays bigger than 6-2, has an NBA body, speed to burn, good passer, great defender. And when he hits his shot ... wow.

Reminds me a lot of another Mitchell - Donovan.

Similar elevation?  Good comparison on the speed and jumper.  Baylor hasn't played this well since before the COVID suspension.

I hope they play this well Monday against the Zags. That would be some game if they do.

I'm kind of rooting for Gonzaga to go unbeaten, but I want them to have to earn it in an instant classic.

[Dish]

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.

[MuggsyB]

They first have to get by UCLA but Baylor's quickness would concern me if I was Gonzaga.  On the other hand Baylor doesn't have a big that can guard Timme?  The thing is while Gonzaga can d-up, Baylor can get open threes.

I have no interest in seeing Gonzaga win.

I have no interest in seeing Gonzaga win.

I would rather see a fellow Jesuit school win.

[GooooMarquette]

I have no interest in seeing Gonzaga win.

Of the teams that are left, the one I'd most like to see win is UCLA. I'm not holding my breath, though.

Assuming it's Baylor-Gonzaga, I'm just hoping for a close game that has a great finish. I don't really care who wins.

It's been 45 years since a team ran the table. I'm all about being able to watch history & what would be the best case for "best of all time" arguments in generations.

Im cheering for not Baylor at this point.

Ick. All bad covers.  Or rather, all covers done poorly.

Miley Cyrus....eesh....

Agreed. She is looking more butch every day. Hitler style storm trooper pants and tats all over. She has gone a long way from Mickey Mouse.

[VegasWarrior77]

Cruise ship singer. Remember them?

IIRC, 1976 was the last time both Kentucky and Duke missed the tournament.  Perhaps a good one for Gonzaga.

[MuggsyB]

Could Bill Walton do some voodoo stuff to help his Bruins?  I just can't can't see Gonzaga losing.

[Herman Cain]

I am always about what is the best outcome for MU. In this case, MU played UCLA well on the road, so I hope UCLA beats Gonzaga and goes on to win it all. We would then have the defending National Champion coming into Fiserv This December.

[Uncle Rico]

Matt Gaetz likes them young, too

Miley Cyrus....eesh....

100% guaranteed that if her last name wasn't Cyrus she'd be working a McDonald's drive through somewhere. In high school we had at least a dozen musicians that had at least twice her talent. Our annual school music concert had better covers in it.

[MU82]

Darn. I thought maybe they could delay the start of this game another hour or two.

[MuggsyB]

What on earth is going on with their camera angles?  Freaking bizarre.

[MuggsyB]

Solid start for UCLA.  Timme is annoying but should be getting more touches.

[The Sultan]

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

[MU82]

UCLA playing very hard and also efficiently. Maybe we'll get a great game after all.

[MU82]

I did not know that Campbell had committed to DePaul first.

Talk about a brilliant decision ultimately!
