Game Thread: FINAL FOUR 2017

[Scapegoat]

Gonzaga has had the path of least resistance. NC should get it done this year. Oregon and SC both good stories.

Gonzaga is a great team and I don't want to take anything away from them but this has to be one of the easiest final paths in college basketball history. South Dakota State, Northwestern, West Virginia, Xavier, and South Carolina? No disrespect to any of those teams but they haven't played a single elite team to get to the Final Four and potentially the championship

 

[DJ Fieri]

I can't wait. Just because it's part of the Madness.

 

[Olyduck]

USC is intriguing.

I clearly overrated Boucher.

Gonazaga and UNC frankly shouldn't be here. Sucking out most of the interest.

The only way this would've been a worse FF would've been if Duke and Mich St made it.

that would be the quartet of least likable programs all in one block.

How do you figure you over rated Boucher?

 

[Olyduck]

An Oregon/USC championship game would be compelling.

Any other match-up would not be.

how is an all PNW title or an all Carolina, North vs South no compelling?

 

[The Q]

How do you figure you over rated Boucher?

I thought he was a crippling loss for Oregon.

 

[The Q]

How do you figure you over rated Boucher?

Because neither UNC or Gonzaga deserves to be there. They've sapped almost all my interest out of the FF entirely.

 

[The Q]

Wow. I totally disagree. I regularly root for them March.

I root for them to be the team that loses to a double digit seed.

Doesnt deserve to be there? Yeah thats a garbage response.

Here's a cup-and-ball toy, maybe this will keep your interest over the weekend

Nope.

they were outplayed by WVU and UK.

Period.

[The Q]

Man I hate Kentucky.

Really don't like them. I loved in 2011 joking how this was Cal's third time ever making his first final four.

But what the NCAA is doing to them (letting Higgins handle a FF after that abomination of a performance) is shameful.

 

[michaeljordan_fan]

How is UNC the lone No. 1 remaining?

 

[Jordan23]

Is that the guy Lavar Bell can beat in your AV?

lol, yup. After seeing a video of Lavar playing in some pick up games, I could beat him in basketball.

 

[Jordan23]

It's going to be UNC vs Gonzaga for the NC.

I hope you are right and I hope UNC wins it all.

 

[Olyduck]

I thought he was a crippling loss for Oregon.

did you know he wasn't even a starter?

 

[Olyduck]

did you know he wasn't even a starter?

I mean technically he wasn't a starter. Him and Benson were last season but have been playing off the bench this year.

 

[DJ Fieri]

I hope you are right and I hope UNC wins it all.

Me too. They are the last remaining team I bet SportsHoopla cash on.
