Game Thread: National Championship Game - Gonzaga vs. UNC

[purguy12]

great statement by Few. He said they did what they wanted to do to give them a chance to win. Out rebounded UNC and lower UNC 3pt shooting and had more Free throws and it still wasn't enough.

Good Coach wish him luck next year. Hope he wins one.

I like how Mark Few threw some shade there. Talking about how his players "did it the right way...high character...good students"

Gonzaga players can actually find the classroom?!?!

In the title game two years in a row and won this one.. they're getting GOOD players when they should still be a dead program. Not even a slap on the wrist.

yes but its doing it through building. Not just throwing 1 and done players in there and hope they grow up. These players build and get better and stay 3-4 years. Im just saying they don't get what they use to because of the scandal. Roy has to recruit different and thats rebuilding his teams and land good players that stay 3-4 years, and develop these kids.

Sorry, man, I don't buy it. Grandpa roy should have lost his job over this and there should have been bigger repercussions... It was a big deal and you guys really NEVER suffered a hit because of it.

They did they, go look at their recruiting and what they use to get. use to land at least 1 5 star every year and 1 and done players. When was their last 1 and done player? They don't land those types anymore. Now don't get me wrong Im not saying they get crap but they don't get what Duke and Kentucky gets. They use to.

what one and done players pre-2009 NCAA investigation?

Marvin Williams and Brandon Wright?

Referees absurdly take over national title game, Twitter revolts

exactly. Point made. How many after. 0 last TOP 10 player they landed was H. Barnes and he wasn't a 1 and done. This is UNC and they only landed 1 Top 10 player in 8 years. I might of missed a player but still 1 player. Kentucky and Duke lands 1-3 every year.

Well.. this is sad. Men's basketball is about as popular as curling. Is it because unc won? If this were football, this place would be blowing up.

Don't be mad because I called u out on it. U were wrong and i was right. Its ok man No big deal. We are Champs and Im happy as hell.

Oh by the way One and Done started in 2005. so yes they had 2 in 4 years(2005-2009) and 0 since the scandal. So yes it has affected them. 50% rate to 0% rate.

 

[purguy12]

Good night guys. WE are the CHAMPS. Congrats to Gonzaga on a great season.

Im going to enjoy this, next year will be a tough year I think(depending on who stays). Hope Berry comes back.

November can't get here fast enough. The end of college basketball always bums me out more than any other sport. Great season of hoops.

You are champs with an * because unc are nothing but cheaters.. but what the hell do one and dones have to do with anything??? meeks, britt, hicks, pinson, jackson and berry.. 5 star players that pappy roy paid to stick around. unc doesn't recruit anymore.. GIVE ME A FREAKING BREAK!!!

 

[CatsTopPac]

Top 3-5 of all time.

I think there is a great argument for that. Top 5 in Final Fours and Championships and that is on two different teams. Add to that he's #7 in wins and it's quite a resume.

You don't have to buy it but unc can't recruit the way the could before the scandal. They didn't suffer when it comes to results, but they suffered when it came to recruiting.

They have one McDonald All-American in the last two recruiting classes. There's absolutely been a drop off.

Read my other post where I list all the 5-star players on the floor tonight. The 'we don't recruit like we used to' line is bullshit.

VT doesn't have any....


....ever....


....next argument

yeah, big drop off. Making the finals two years in a row with half a dozen 5-star players and winning a championship!! Yup, this must suck. How are you tarhole fans able to deal with this?
