NCAA Tourney Game #1: Gonzaga Game Thread

[bigraym]

let's tip it off!

 

[bigraym]

Go to the hole! No 3's

 

[ncaaball2]

Didn't see this one

I like the start. Open with rock lobsters. Seton hall is more athletic in the defensive boards. The post is going to be tough to stop all night though.

 

[bigraym]

Can't get Angel in foul trouble, BAD CALL!

 

[bigraym]

Desi! Wow to the hole, I like what I'm seeing!

 

[NYC Pirate]

Down 11-10 under 16 minutes.

We weathered that first few minutes and have good composure.

 

[Save Continental]

Absolute bull shit call on angel. Wake up refs.

 

[Vegas pj]

No fear - the red lobsters are in da house!

 

[The SHUttle]

Not sure why we started in zone but thankfully got out of that after a wide open 3

 

[bigraym]

Got to keep Angel from getting 2nd foul. I like our play, we are driving to the basket!

 

[Vegas pj]

Absolute bull poop call on angel. Wake up refs.

PC police alert. lol

 

[statenman]

it looks like bigs on both sides more worried about not getting fouled. We need to take it to the basket every play

Definitely, don't settle for jumpers, make them defend!

 

[Vince]

When are they going to call a moving block(s) on the big guy.

 

[The Crows Nest]

Definitely, don't settle for jumpers, make them defend!

Sabonis is a load

 

[Jerry1992]

Sabonis killing us and fouls are becoming a problem. This game will be close. Angel needs to avoid second foul.

 

[NYC Pirate]

18-17 down a point under 12 minutes. We see a lot of good things. They just have to
get some quality looks. Our defense is very good.

 

[bigraym]

Angel is playing well, but its tough as Sabonis is a load! We need to get some deflections and turnovers. Would help if we could protect the ball.

 

[The SHUttle]

We need to drive at Sabonis, get him caught on a switch in the weave.

 

[holloway12]

NO MORE TURNOVERS!!!! Let's give ourselves a chance

 

[SHUMA04]

Not playing our game. Poor decisions and shot selection.

If we settle down and play our game, the physical talent def favors the hall.

 

[RU82]

They need to settle down a little bit and make better decisions.

 

[ncaaball2]

I like what I see so far.

 

[bigraym]

Let's take the lead here!

 

[bigraym]

Make them run, they have no depth....we got this..

 

[NYC Pirate]

SHU leads 21-20 under 8 minutes. We are playing very well.

 

[The SHUttle]

I have to say that I am liking what I see. WIllard looks like he is going to cycle players in waves.

 

[Jerry1992]

Playing decent. Need to settle down a bit. Was hoping we would their bigs in foul trouble. Has not happened.

 

[hallwins]

Sabonis and Wiltjer look exhausted.

 

[ncaaball2]

Pirates are more athletic. Zags are pretty solid, but the athleticism will wear the, down.

 

[bigraym]

We might see a Myles Carter appearance tonight before this one is through

 

[The Crows Nest]

We might see a Myles Carter appearance tonight before this one is through

Everything coming up short

 

[ncaaball2]

Withstand the spurt.

 

[mjs428]

So far..their bigs > our guards

 

[NYC Pirate]

Down 25-21. worst segment there for Pirates. Gordon has to pick up
his focus on offense. Just forcing too much. They need to cover that left wing
on defense.

 

[holloway12]

Gordon, 2 turnovers and 2 forced shots..... need whitehead and carrington to get involved. Angel playing well...

 

[GOHALL85]

A lot of game left, Isaiah scores better in the second half, stay positive.

 

[HallX2]

So far..their bigs > our guards

Gordon out of control last drive.

 

[ncaaball2]

So far..their bigs > our guards

Nah. This is a pretty even heavy weight fight. They just hit two jabs in a row though, but lots of time left.

The athleticism is on your side. The poise and composure on the zags side.

 

[lloyde dobler]

Gordon's been forcing on offense way too much all season. Don't like it here.
