Garza is a shoe in. Media darling. Never mind that Iowa cannot guard anyone and that Kispert works his butt off on defense.

I do not mean for this to come off as wrong, because I have been a fan of the WCC for ages, but when Gonzaga generated more revenue with it's men's basketball team last year than any Pac 12 team...
There is no doubt that Baylor is GU's biggest rival towards winning a national title. But I will argue to the day I die that winning SIX GAMES IN A ROW is a lot different than winning, say, 4 games...
They have said that family members will be allowed to attend any of the games, and I would imagine this will be expanded at the Final Four at the 70K plus football stadium. It's all about social...
Very much agree Jazz. Even if Gonzaga gets beat, it's for the best when it comes to the team. They will likely not play a better team in 2021 than Baylor. If they lose by 6 in Denver or whatever, the...
FYI - Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis is the home of IUPUI basketball. It was recently renovated and is located at the fairgrounds in Indianapolis. It seats 6,800.
If the Zags are the...
I love Baylor's team, and I by no means believe the Zags are invincible, but GU simply has more more NBA talent than Baylor does. It's not like the Zags suck on D. They are 13th in defense at...
Few made a good point after the game. There is only one game this week, and it's against Pacific, in Spokane, on Saturday. They need the extra practice time. It was clear in the post-game comments...
[/QUOTE]
Agreed. It will be interesting to see the adjustments that Few makes. I just wish we could play Baylor or some other top 15 team in the month of February to get another significant...
The Zags are still allowing teams to shoot it too well from the 3 pt. line. I know they are 14th in the nation in defensive efficiency due to other things, but you know how the NCAA tourney goes. All...
If the Zags beat the Waves, it will be their 40th straight win over Pepperdine. That's what ESPN said last night.
The sign of a great coach is one who plays to his personnel. Not a guy who tries to slam a round peg into a square hole.
And then he'd tell TV viewers about all the things he despises about college basketball these days. The kids aren't tough enough, etc. At least with Bobby "Red Sweater" Knight and Rick Majerus you...
I don't know why, but everytime I think of Chet Holgrem I think of Paul McCartney's classic song "Jet." Maybe put some Chet inspired lyrics to it.
On the other hand, Lucas Oil would allow for adequate social distancing to allow fans and maybe even some students to attend the Final 4 games.
It's official: https://espnpgh.iheart.com/content/2021-01-04-indianapolis-picked-to-host-the-2021-ncaa-tournament/
I just hope they don't stage the regionals and the final four at Lucas Oil...
Why team recruiting rankings are dumb:

Speaking of controversial coaches, not a very good pic of Coach Calipari

Good article from one of the best college basketball analysts around, CBS' Gary Parrish:
Arizona is the latest to self-impose a 2021 postseason ban, but the NCAA needs to show that's not enough...
The most painful thing about that UCLA loss is that Batista was fouled by Farmar when the ball was "stolen" from him. I know two people who were near the play, and you could actually hear the slap....
It's funny, but one fact that the media constantly forget about the 2012/13 team is that Gary Bell Jr. broke his foot in the WSU upset, which severely impacted Gonzaga's defense. Even if they had...
Sounds like Arizona has drunk far too many cases of Miller Beer.........
Parrish and Norlander just posted their latest podcast. They discuss the possibility of GU going unbeaten:

I still feel they need to clean up the defense if they want to win it all, much less do it while going undefeated. GU dropped 4 spots in the defensive efficiency ratings today and allowed Virginia to...
