I thought I already saw a thread for this, but I can't find it now. Not an amazing bracket, but we should see a good championship game at least. Looks like it'll be Minnesota vs Gonzaga barring an upset.

I've got the Minnesota-St. John's game on right now, and St. John's just started getting kind of hot

St. Johns should win that game. Remember, it's at the Garden. Essentially a home game.

It looks like they won't. But they should.

Edit: I was right. St. Johns -1.

I disagree. Now they may win still because neither team has a clear edge. But St. John's is basically just athletic.

If gophers don't get in foul trouble and stop taking dumb shots/passes for easy fast break baskets they will cruise.

Gophers have a lot more all around talent but gotta d rebound a bit better.

dakich is actually right for once. it's nice to see a game that the officials don't take complete control of

Ya officials have been pretty good.

Morris second foul was stupid. And obpekas block was pretty clean.

Gophs playing so sloppy all game

Yea well. The game has already started. But St Johns was the favorite.

Uh no. Gophers were 1 pt favorites.

And I'm well aware it started. That would be why I said what the gophers needed to clean up.

So much for good officiating. What the fuck was that?

Eliason is a horrible basketball player.

He's not useful against an athletic team

 

[elijah]

walker on that missed free throw was embarrassing. I don't know how coaches keep their cool

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Gophers are lucky St. John's is just athletic rebounders because all the TOs and miscues are ridiculous.

If you could combine these two teams you got a good squad though.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Andre is playing so fucking bad holy shit. Stop thinking you can score over obepka.

And Mo/Joey can't make lay ups.

Handing this game over

they are in such a hurry to avoid getting their shot blocked that they keep throwing up prayers on put backs

Yup forwards are rushing it.

And guards are challenging him like fools.

 

[elijah]

That was a nice pull up jumper, created a hell of a lot of seperation.

 

[podsox]
