The complete 2023-24 NCAAM season schedule on ESPN. Includes game times, TV listings and ticket information for all Men's College Basketball games.
All of a sudden, it pales in comparison to the fragility of life.
Still, I'm going to miss it.
I have been in front of the TV watching each March Madness game that was shown on ESPN (in the early going) and then CBS and then CBS, TBS, TNT and Court TV since the 80's...to say I miss it is an understatement; however, I agree with you this does pale in comparison to the fragility of life...am hoping the Administration can get control of this virus as it seems like there could be thousands of American lives lost in the next couple of months...

This administration is doing as well as any administration would. There are good people doing as much as they can. Any fantasy administration that people think would have done any better is just that...a fantasy.
Now, back to irregular programming.
I’m pretty confident that the Zags would have still been playing and the real nail biting would begin this morning.

I think the Zags would have had a tough game against the 8/9 seed. Maybe tougher than the Sweet Sixteen game depending on the matchup.
Few has gotten really good at game planning when he has four or five days between games. If Gonzaga had made it this far , I’m thinking they would advance to the Elite Eight.
How about you?

I would have liked our chances with a healthy Tillie too! How many big men could guard Tillie when he puts the ball on the floor and goes to the hoop!?!?!?!?

Originally posted by Bogozags View PostMB I personally believe that guard play would have been the difference in our advancing...with two post-grad and one three year RS, our guards would have gotten us through the SS but all that depends on how the bracket would have snapped up. I thought having Oregon as the 4seed would have been another challenge for us BUT if Oregon would have won the P12 Tournament, then they would have been moved up to a 3seed...IMO...I think another key to our advancing is the play of Timme. The play of Timme and Filip would be another over&under shotgun for defences to guard...Timme is IMO a much better rebounder as he has never seen a rebound he didn't like!!!

The Zags may have had two of those type of players. Timme was feeling his oats in the conference tournament as well.
Those two along with the known quantities of the rest of the rotation....

I was really really looking forward to seeing how Woolridge and Gilder played in the tournament! Ugh. I think that those 2, more than most, would have been on a mission. Add into that TILLIE having his last go around, Petrusev being pretty predictable and Ayayi, Kispert and Timme playing loose and free..... ohhhhh the what if game is exciting to think about

Originally posted by gonstu View PostToday would be elite 8 day for zags in Los Angeles. Maybe GU vs Oregon? I would have been LIVE in attendance ,just like last years Texas tech game.
I would be fairly confident in that matchup. The first game was played when the Zags were still trying to figure out each other's names. Timme was way raw. Gilder and Woolridge COMBINED for seven points. And Gonzaga still won.
I know Oregon had improved since then, but not to the extent Gonzaga did.
I'm thinking 83-69 Zags.
