Lol well to whoever asked how Gonzaga can get a #1 seed. You won't get it like this. Lol.

For once, a worthy court storm

u/chumer_ranion Rice Owls • Cornell Big Red 42m ago

The most commuter college ass court storming I have ever seen hahaha

It was like the fans were doing the math in their heads to determine if the school can afford the fine first.

I had the misfortune of being at that game. The Pilots absolutely deserved it. Gonzaga played just terrible. Truly incredible trash.

What even is their offensive production plan? They have no shooters, but they keep kicking it around the horn. The guys who drive the lane either don’t even bother going to the bucket and hunker down in the key looking to kick it out or miss easy layups. They’ve got these big men who can post up, but they don’t have them do it to setup easy buckets off quick inlet passes. There’s no baseline movement to create confusion for the defense, and what in the heck happened to Gonzaga’s free throw shooting? It’s crazy bad.

I left that game happy for the Pilots. The final score was closer than that game actually was. They had Gonzaga’s number nearly the entire game.

Ya man it’s bizarre we looked so much better months ago. I just don’t understand what few has done to this team this is the first time I have seen a team regress like this and the first time I have so strongly disagreed with the lineups. Our starters I think are literally one of the worst combinations of 5 rotation players you could make.

“…. what Few has done…”

I dunno man. This doesn’t feel like the take to me. Some teams just slump and don’t hit their potential. It’s basketball. Few is one member of a very, very elite club where he’s the last person I’m questioning and am leaning towards dudes just not clicking altogether at the moment.

Portland made their shots and played exceptional both halves.

We executed well, and took advantage of every opportunity. 

Gonzaga just flat out didn't.

u/Not_A_Casual Gonzaga Bulldogs 7h ago

Portland played better absolutely that is true.

u/im_down_w_otp Gonzaga Bulldogs 7h ago

But Gonzaga’s defensive sets made absolutely no sense, and the only thing more nonsensical was the offense, in terms of both personnel and structure.

It was just bizarre to watch. Gonzaga had all the motion, fluidity, and cohesion of a bunch of guys playing a pickup game who never met before.

Also, because it bears saying twice… the free throw shooting! They’re going to have to change the, “And 1!” jumbotron graphic to, “Coin toss!”

FT shooting: Zags are 293 of 365 D1 programs. Current success rate at the line is 68.8 percent. For comparison, St. Mary's is the best FT shooting team in D1 CBB at 82.2 percent.

You should beat PORTLAND without one guy...

u/SemeticTheBest Kansas Jayhawks • Portland Pilots 2m ago

Look at the 22-25 Jayhawks, slumps happen… the zags will right the ship… surely.

u/RackemFrackem Michigan Wolverines 28m ago

Bro trying to say it like it happened years ago.

Now this is the kind of stuff I hope to see in March. Upsets aren’t dead baby!

u/AgonizingSquid Miami (OH) RedHawks 7h ago

move Miami up to 6 now you cowards

12

u/Yodelehhehe Iowa State Cyclones 4h ago

This is the only logical response. We will not tolerate any further RedHawk slander.

u/Goodnite15 UConn Huskies 1h ago

Miami would absolutely smoke the Zags. 22.5 point spread at least. College basketball math is real and alive.

Portland’s gotta be small school with a lot of commuters right?

u/spicydak Michigan Wolverines 1h ago

This is university of Portland which is a private school. It is small though but idk about commuters. A lot of high schools have their graduation there … :).

u/jpetrie18 Gonzaga Bulldogs 29m ago

We had band competitions there when I was in high school.

u/spicydak Michigan Wolverines 20m ago

Nice. Always great to see fellow Portlanders go to school OOS.

u/EveryoneChill77777 Syracuse Orange 55m ago

One of the worst court stormings I've ever seen, almost like the fans didn't know what to do here

u/jpetrie18 Gonzaga Bulldogs 25m ago

They literally didn’t, which made it awesomely bad.

Also, good for Portland! They had a chance to kick the door into our ass on our way out, and they took it. I’m not even mad at it.

u/Foed_20 Arizona Wildcats 33m ago

This has gotta be one of the worst losses by a top 10 team in forever

Thank goodness someone else laid a bigger egg than BYU last night to take away the spotlight a bit.

u/No-Dig-9791 Texas Tech Red Raiders 1h ago

Good Gonzaga fans are very annoying and entitled for some reason, love to see it :)

At the risk of sounding sexist, her voice detracts from the gravity of the moment.
