Yea Gonzaga was running a pro style helping scheme until they went zone at the end.

A big part of this game was Zags overloading the left side of the floor and daring Zion and Barrett to go right as well

On that last play that’s exactly what happened and Barret finally went right and had no counter.
Yep, Barrett has tremendous skill for a freshman but he still isn't close to upperclassmen decision making skills nor having the counters he needs to be unstoppable at the college level. He is a freshman in his 6th game. Most freshman aren't really on this type of stage this early into their years with this type of matchup.

He was playing hot potato with the ball on the perimeter. He had about 2-3 good drives, and the rest of the time he was passing the ball up or looking to seal off in the paint.


you didn't watch the game. this idiot here.



Coach K has always done this. this is why we lost in 99, he gave the ball to fukkin Trajan Langdan and told him to make a play. You have the dominate Elton Brand, Will Avery, Corey Maggette, and you tell Langdon to make a play?! Of course we all know what happened, he dribbled off his foot.

If he's on his game then Gonzaga can challenge Duke. Weird that he is so under the radar still.

Gonzaga is my pick to beat Duke.


Nah ... last night was the night to clip Duke. They’ll come out extra A1 against the Zags. They gonna get Zion the fluids and the O2 mask. It’s nothing.


That was without Tillie as well, I didn't think Gonzaga would look that good. Played much better than the final score would indicate.

I was on the Bleacher Report app and their stats are all bar graphs with rebounds combined into one bar labeled Rebounds (Offensive).
I fucced up reading a graph while watching the game at the same time.


Meanwhile you didn’t watch the game and are still wrong about Duke attacking the basket:manny:
Even after being caught dead ass in a lie you still can’t just humble yourself and admit you were wrong without being a limp wristed bytch about it:francis:

That bullshyt excuse doesn’t even fly because you also lied about dook forcing more turnover and since auburn had more steals and less turnovers, there’s no “Well what happened is.....I just misread the bar graph cause I was so into the game”. Nah, you’re just a bytch for no reason. It’s a character trait.

I didn't see fear to shoot. I seen a player who just did the AAU shuffle. Let the best player cook with isos. This ain't AAU and that shyt didn't work
He's been afraid to shoot in pretty much every single game; I've seen him pass up multiple looks in every game.

Go check the app and see for yourself. :yeshrug:
This isn’t a big enough deal for me to lie about it. I admitted I made a mistake, now you’re asking me to lie and say that I deliberately lied the first time.

I didn’t.

Auburn fouled when Duke went to the rim because they don’t have the athletes to stop heir drives.

Where were all these immoral fouls tonight? Gonzaga was able to guard much better without fouling because they have the length to do so and the refs swallowed their whistles and even gave Zags many chances to ice which they missed.
:mjgrin:
