How did UCLA lose 9 games during the regular season? Team full of pros. Did they just start playing hard in the tourney?
If the tourney showed anything, it’s that the pac 12 was a really conference

Why is that?Plus, if Gonzaga wins Monday it bothers IU fans. So there's that
Why is that?
Hadn’t thought of that.Because Indiana fans love to brag about being the last undefeated team. They are as obnoxious about it as the '72 Miami Dolphins
Maaan you guys have to loosen up a bit. The kid's just having fun! Nothing wrong with a little bravado if you've got the game to back it upI think it's just you and my five-year-old.
That’s plenty enough for me to pull for ZagsBecause Indiana fans love to brag about being the last undefeated team. They are as obnoxious about it as the '72 Miami Dolphins
Why didn't they put Etienne in???Great game by UCLA. Would have won if they had someone to match up with Timme.
I think the super tough game Gonzaga had tonight will actually help them in the championship game.Gonzaga -4.5
Duke Kentucky 92 was way better than this game.A SALUTE to UCLA
Cannot recall a better game than that is 40 years
Me too on "what ifs"" I know had we made it this far... the first semi final game would have been much more entertaining with Illini in place of Houston.To the bank! Suggs hits the winner, Zags a win from perfection
Gonzaga is the first team to bring an undefeated record into the championship game since Larry Bird and Indiana State in 1979.www.stltoday.com
as a BB fan in general, this was a great game, a classic.....
as an Illini fan .....2005 Illini vs Az
Griffey's last second layup defeating the # 1 ranked loosiers
Kaufman's 3 pter beating the squwaks
many of Ayo's closing shots
I have a vested interest in my beloved.......last night it was just a great tourney game....
I still ache terribling from the Loyola game results and still play the "" what if """" game for this year's tourney....
Agreed ...UCLA loses to USC, Colo, Oregon and Ore State in the last 4 Conf games and gets to F4 and does this in semifinal? Are you kidding me?If the tourney showed anything, it’s that the pac 12 was a really conference
I'll take the Kofi roar over the Mustache bow to audience all day.Maaan you guys have to loosen up a bit. The kid's just having fun! Nothing wrong with a little bravado if you've got the game to back it up
But UCLA also won two OT games in the NCAA tourney. So they're still on the plus side of close games.gotta feel for Bruins 3rd buzzer beater loss of the season.
On the other hand......Agreed ...UCLA loses to USC, Colo, Oregon and Ore State in the last 4 Conf games and gets to F4 and does this in semifinal? Are you kidding me?
My bracket picking has always had bias for end of season W streaks. This run UCLA had crushes that approach/theory.
Now with that said, I don't think any other team in the field of 68 could have beaten either Gonzaga or UCLA last night --- given the way they played on that one particular night.
The ONLY two games I can think of that were better than that were IL-Arizona and Villanova -G'town. That 1985 game was a classic for all time.Duke Kentucky 92 was way better than this game.
Another classic buzzer beater from '83The ONLY two games I can think of that were better than that were IL-Arizona and Villanova -G'town. That 1985 game was a classic for all time.
Gonzaga winning on Monday night makes them the first undefeated National Champ in 45 years, since the Loosiers did in (I believe) 1976. They want to stay the most recent example of unblemished success, not start to hear about Gonzaga being the most recent example.Why is that?
I believe the Illini validated that position very well for you this year.On the other hand......
I've taken just the opposite approach for the past 30 years. I try to never get sucked into "hot streaks" to close out the regular season (including conference tourney play).
