Gonzaga-UNC prediction thread

[UNCbiz]

I'll get it kicked off. Shocker, I'm picking UNC in what should be a close game for the most part, but I think we'll pull away down the stretch...

UNC 86
Zags 76

What say you?

Reborn is going to be mad you started his thread.




Lothar's pick - Zags by 1 or more.




...and even though I don't like what it says for the bottom line, I'll continue to pimp kenpom.com: UNC W (55%), 83-82

Why do UNC fans think that own everything? Seriously, if nothing made me dislike UNC this week it was all for not after seeing this and the lame posts from today. Talk about disrespectful.

Zags 87
UNC 82

I am hesitant to make a numbers prediction. I will state my feelings around this game with the following sentence.

I expect UNC to win. But it would not surprise me if the Zags win.

Gonzaga 80
UNC 78

Gonzaga jumps out to a double digit lead in first half. UNC rallies takes the lead midway through second half. Zags hold strong. Back and forth down the stretch. Zags pull it out in the final minute.

UNCbiz, it appears you've succumbed to the Gonzaga effect. Have you find yourself beginning to spend more time on GUboards than your own? Do you notice yourself falling for the Zags and our community a bit more everyday? Its warm and cozy over here isn't it? No worries UNCbiz, it happens to most. Don't be surprised to find your heart secretly rooting for the Zags on Friday even when your head says "Heels". Welcome aboard, I'm sure we'll be seeing you, win or lose .

I also think it will be a close game. I think the guard play is a relative scratch. IT is going to come down to the big guys in the middle. Unfortunately the Zags are missing Sacre and they have been soft inside because of it. Daye likes to float too much on the wing and we need fouls down there. If Foster can make a small impact -if he even plays- like he did in the UCONN game then the Zags will pull it out. Assuming that it we hit our jumpers, too.

It happen to 83Topper. He's been around since the Alaska Shootout in '07.

As for a prediction, Uber predicts he'll be praying for his birthday wish to come true!!!

[ZagLawGrad]

Too early

Check with me tomorrow.

[speed21]

43-40 at the half. The Zags will be up!

Make my second half prediction tomorrow.

[UncleJam]

I'm going to go out on a limb, with an extremely bold prediction....



































.....the team that scores the most points will win the game.

[LynetteG]

Zags win by 5, both teams scoring in the 80s

Reborn is going to be mad you started his thread. Lothar's pick - Zags by 1 or more.

lothar you're stealing my thunder here I have a streak going of correctly picking the Zags winning margin of 1+ and it shall continue.
Go!! Zags!!!

[kitzbuel]

If the Zags are gonna win, they are gonna win by 10. They'll get there at the free throw line (there's a bold prediction!)

[TacomaZAG]

Zags by 2...........

in a track meet, say 90-88. Bouldin drains a 3 with 2 seconds to go, for the win.

Great game, all come away saying it is an instant classic.

Go ZAGS
