One of my favorites of all time. One of the few players that can entertain you without having the ball in his hands. You can become mesmerized by focusing on him and losing track of what is happening...

Not always. A fit could be, for example, a "post up" four instead of a "face up" four. I just went through two paragraphs covering how there could be different versions of fit. In Few's case, he...

You have to turn yourself into a pretzel trying to rationalize why GU isn't "ready"

I mean there are only 350+ D1 institutions that would love to be in the natty every 3 years.

Even giving a...

I have Brandon Clark and Joel Ayayi as starters no matter what it does to the rest of the lineup.

I think player "fit" is only applicable to attitude, motivation, and some type of basketball strength that can be exploited. In other words, I don't think Mark Few has this specific vision of what a...

Mark Few has the keys to the car. We are just going along for the ride.

You are going to have to hold it a bit. The next bathroom is 15 miles up the road.

Some of those teams were in the "historically great" category that GU was being compared to a couple of days ago.

The best college teams I have ever personally watched in order of how I perceive...

One word so the emphasis is not diluted: Rebounding.

Not an any given player issue, but more of a roster issue. The domination early was largely on the glass. Second chance points were mostly kick...

The game can't be legendary unless it goes down to the wire.

We need another memorable buzzer beater for historical context. We need folks talking about this for the next decade. We need ESPN to...

Mark Few will hang it up someday. He will have a say in the future of the program. He has a vested interest in maintaining/continuing the Gonzaga legacy.

Keeping Gonzaga relevant is the duty of...

They don't do anything different than what they have been doing all season long.

UCLA and BYU are examples of teams playing their A+ perfect games. Not an example of Zag deficiency. When a team...

The best thing about this?

Truth is finally beginning to prevail.

There were so many influential voices that never intervened when the haters assaulted Gonzaga as a program. But it seems...

Very high level basketball. If I was a NBA GM, I would rework my evaluations for every player that took the court. For both sides.

Every player on the court seemed like an offensive threat.
...

Very high level basketball. Every player that logged minutes seemed like an offensive threat. I mean EVERY player.

Cronin had a great plan. Juzang was unstoppable.

Very high level basketball.

This is why I am amazed at the Sacre transformation. I mean just think of Robert with the ball in his hands his freshman year compared to Timme. You can't get any further apart in the skill...

Timme is a flat out stud. So is Luke Garza. So is about a half dozen other similar players every year. Year after year. And there is only so many spots for what is now widely regarded by the NBA as a...

I am just completely outraged about this.

The level of disrespect for Mark Few is unforgiveable.

Time to stop regarding any Eastern beauty contest as a valid representation of reality and...

National media is East Coast media. This is Adam Morrison verse JJ Reddick all over again. And this is how it will always be.

Trust me. When an ACC school gets back to relevance, the Eastern media...

Few had interesting comments on this. Apparently there are two levels of intensity. The first level is to merely make the opponent use up shot clock and disrupt offensive flow. Then for the next...

How worried should we be? I guess Mark Few has never been happier, but when does a man conclude that he has achieved everything he has set out to do?

The NCAA landscape is changing too drastically...

Really wish they could have seen it.

Can he become a "Face up" stretch four?

Yes.

Is he there now?

No.

What is his biggest obstacle?

Admittedly, the hands should always be up to obstruct passing lanes and vision, but fundamentally, you play defense with your feet. Fouls typically come from being late with the feet and over...

UCLA?

I'm getting that Searcy Lannister vibe out of Spokane. Give Adam a front row seat. Hell, they gonna show his picture non stop for the next week. The media will gobble up this back story.

I would rather stick a fork in my eye than watch Kentucky's inept offense. They perfected the rock fight that fans find so hard to watch. Then their fans complain that college hoops is dying....
