Picked Gonzaga from the start...no point in changing now. Naturally, my bracket was busted weeks ago.

If Gonzaga rebounds the ball on both ends and limit there turn-overs they have a chance.

Should be a good game. If Berry shows up and Hicks plays a little better i think they will win but they need rebounding, Jackson and Berry to be on.

25 years of cheating dating back to the Dean Smith era and still nothing handed down by the NCAA. Teachers handing out As for fake classes. It's insane. As if one of the nation's best programs needs any additional assistance.

But they'll jack hammer USC for one selfish man's actions (Reggie). It's such a joke. So unfair.

My heart says Gonzaga but my head definitely says UNC. Regardless I'll be there. $300 lower level in the corner, row 20. Not too bad.

I've always respected Gonzaga. They remind me of the college basketball version of what Boise used to be in football not long ago. And Coach Few is such a class act. I'd love to see them get it done. We'll see.

Gonzaga's a much better team. If they are there mentally, the title is theirs for the taking. The only team with a Python deficit anywhere near UNCs which ended up winning was Syracuse over Kansas. Heavy KenPom favorites are 5-1.

I actually agree with Smart on this one. Not sure about "much better" but I expect them to win tonight. Really hope we get another classic like last year.

Moved to the inland northwest about 18 years ago. At that time most people outside of Spokane couldn't have even told you where Gonzaga was. Never saw anybody wearing Zag gear when I first got there. It only takes one winning season for all them bandwagoners to jump ship on whomever they were rooting for before though. Much like with the Seahawks, droves of so-called fans appeared out of thin air over night and now Zag shit is everywhere. And despite all that I've met a grand total of 2 people who actually attended the school.

Most of these clowns have no idea who Dan Monson and Dan Dickau are. For the love of God UNC, please shut these assholes up.

Who am I kidding, Gunzawga probably rolls to an easy W.

Me and Bob Saget went to Gonzaga, we would drive around the campus in a van. Bob would usually wear a sling, even though he had no injury?

I'd ask how many co-eds you guys went to town on but I know Saget is more into post menopausal bitches.

He wanted to bring some old actor buddy with us, but the guy gave me the willys. Think he used to do the Fat Albert voices

I actually met them both together once in LA. Don't remember much though. One second we're sipping on some lean and the next thing I know I wake up naked in the back of a truck heading to Mexico with a wet butthole and a quarter in my hand.

It was awesome.
