Great game for an uninvested fan to watch!!!

I haven’t watched much CBB this year, but really glad I picked this one!!

If you would have said a game in the 80's you would have said UCLA got killed. That is where it was before overtime. Great fight by the Bruins till the end. They even had a bit of defense on that last shot. Other observations, "hands of stone" Riley had his best game ever. Tyger had a great 3/4 of the game then faded. Don't know what has happened to Jamie the last two games. He is tough but didn't really control the game as much as I though he would. Great game. Tough way to lose. Looks like two PAC 12 teams in the final only it is Womens.

Really couldn’t ask for more than that. Obviously didn’t belong in a play-in game. Ridiculous. Congrats on the deep run.

If I never see that "block" against Riley again, I'd die a happy man. Oof

Throughout the game, I kept recalling the U of A’s 96-95 double overtime round-of-32 game vs Gonzaga...

This time I was imagining Gonzaga fans having a near heart attack as did I during that terrifying event!!!

So relieved to be a neutral fan for this one!!!

Exactly this.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

So I think UCLA has a real bitch on that play and it wasn't the block which was clean. They hit the net when going for the block which to me was close to interference.

I was thinking of that game too and Luke Walton just fallen down exhausted at the end. That was another great game.

I generally root for, in order:

2. PAC (outside of ASU)
3. West coast
4. underdog

So definitely Gonzaga.

Baylor's speed has the Zags at a reactive speed not their own.

I love how they phrased it as "Stanford escapes" because we made it a lot closer than the Zags are making it now.

Thanks for the shoutout Chuck!
