Bear Down Wildcats

I bet ASU is proud to be the 4th best BB team in Arizona

Lopes are Cougin' it

Ya no, GCU has THREE Basketball National Championships (NAIA).

I vaguely remember a year back in the late '70s or early '80s when they won either the NAIA basketball or baseball championship and had to forfeit due to having alcohol in the locker room celebration.

Tommy must be loving this.

Edit: Never mind. Though his son played at Grand Canyon but it's NAU.

How impressive was GCU. They are very much for real. They have a huge following, influential boosters and I am sure a legit NIL program. They are going to be a difficult out coming up

They have a very Duke of the West vibe going on. Be interesting to see if GCU can keep Drew and continue building that program upwards.

And, of course, a stellar basketball legacy:

• Coach Ben Lindsey!!!

• Coach Russ Pennell!!!

It’s funny, I thought exactly the same thing last night.

It is a little big isn't it? Pretentious hole.

Anybody have the UCLA score?

They did not lose

Is this going to be the least anxious/ stressfull opening weekend of the tournament ever?!!!!

It's noon on Saturday and I don't know what I should be doing the rest of the weekend?!!!

More shots! D'uh!!

zags nice start

Zags are looking like this might be their year

I love this dismantling of Kansas

Today we are all Sparty fans as well.

1st 2 in the Sweet 16- are the 2 powerhouses from the west

Is this what we call a technical blowout?

Wish this wasn't on at the same time as the women but I'm gonna laugh at Kansas all damn day.

I’m gonna enjoy skull fucking Kansas in league play

A non-technical skullfucking.

Truth be told, Few would have skullfucked Self even harder but Self's rug kept coming off. Gription is key in a good skullfucking.

WaSt getting close to tipping off vs Iowa St…

Can the PAC get to 7-0?

Probably not but I’m rooting for it

Go cougs!

This is why it was rooting for UNC over Michigan State, Michigan State just scares me in March, and I think it’s a worse matchup for Arizona

Our jinxes cancel each other out.

I think you are scared of old Mich St teams....

The team that scares me the most in the West is Baylor. They are similar to Oregon/WSU......they are very long and athletic.

WSU had the largest starting lineup in college basketball this year.......and we all know what they did to us. Baylor is only slightly smaller than WSU.

I 100% agree with this. I'm a huge Clemson fan! (For a day)

Yep - they were scorching from 3 first round game too… let’s go Clemson!

MSU looking good vs UNC

I like how Clemson and Baylor don't even play until tomorrow. Nice we get that extra day of rest.

Cougs!!

Love the start!

The last 5 minutes tells you all you need to know about Mich St.

They were up 12-now down...

Cougs getting some good looks but missing em - good start for them though

If WSU was shooting anything from 3, they could be up 15 points

Cougs!

C'mon pride of Pullman! Represent the Pac-2!

ISU's perimeter help defense is amazing.

This game is fun as hell!

Cougs keeping it close at least!

Well North Carolina will be joining us in LA

When Davis banked in that deep 3 ya just knew it was UNC's day. Peace out Sparty.

Coug's will cut into this lead, I'll guess, but pulling out a win is unlikely from here.

Or not

The current NCAA broadcast status (CBS,TNT, TBS & TRU) totally lacks the true excitement of the first two rounds - the simultaneity of multiple games!

When ESPN had it, they'd frequently cut in on whatever game you were watching.with big plays, close finishes, and, especially upsets. Now, almost nada! And, it takes multiple clicks to switch between games!!

To make matters worse, most of the broadcasters/commentators are Dillard's that evidence litte familiarity with players/teams, except a few stars and stats...

After a few non-Arizona games, I'm bored shirtless... ... THE THRILL IS GONE!!!

DAMN!! I had MSU & Wazzu as upset winners today!

MSU has been off all season. Wazzu .... I woulda thought they'd have done better today.
