OT: Final (who cares) Four open thread
Currently the fighting Art Briles’ are beating the fighting Clyde Drexlers
later the Fighting John Stockton’s take on the some team from LA
Maybe I’m just really old, but this performance by Miley Cyrus is terrible.
I'm definitely really old, but I could do without watching her channel her inner Pat Benetar.
When did she become a one-person cover band?
Never insult the sweet soulful voice of Pat Benatar.
True. Pat Benetar is Doris Fucking Day compared to what we just witnessed.
Somehow on twitter , a lot of people loved it . Glad I didn’t watch
Reason #858012 why Twitter sucks.
Gotta love the crowd shots, where there's like, 15 drunk girls dancing over about 8,000 square feet.
Imagine what Miley's armpits smell like...
What the hell is wrong with you?
And....no.
Probably like hepatitis c
The NCAA Tourney has jumped the shark with a Miley Cyrus show.
Read the room people, that's not this demographic.
That bit with Juzang's brother flying in from Vietnam is so damn wholesome. I was pulling for UCLA to beat state (obviously) and again against Bama (though in retrospect...), not going to be hard to pull for them tonight
Upset watch: 7-7
UCLA forces a lot of missed layups. Weird.
And missed free throws...
Hope UCLA just gets run off the floor.
About time for the UCLA guys in the rafters to crank up their resonance distortion wave and point it at the Gonzaga basket.
Uh, so far UCLAme are playing with the Zags no problem...not good!
Zags looking hugely overrated at this point.
Maybe we can finally give UCLA some credit for being decent.
So far the Bruins look like a very well-coached, tight bunch that have each others backs.
This won't be a blowout.
Sham had an early lead on Secretariat in the 1973 Belmont.
If you have 4 minutes to spare the ‘73 Belmont was one of the most dominating performances in sports history and a fun watch.
Or UCLA just doing what they’ve been doing all tournament and taking their opponents out of their element and off of their game.
Yeah, maybe. I still think Gonzaga wins by a mile. But if you saw my bracket you would know that for all the college hoops I watch, I really have no idea how the tournament will go. ?
I sure wish the NCAA would ban the neutral zone lock.
uhhh, come again?
If I have to explain the joke...
How bout I just say "wooossscchhh!"
clue:
And one, up 4. UCLA is getting terrible shots, except for that layup, but they’re going in just like they did against us. Who knows?
Look at that off balance jumper Campbell just made with a hand in his face,followed up by a drive to the hoop that drew a foul and a FT.
That type of immense creation in a short time frame is what wins championships.
give them credit, but i just don't think it's sustainable. i am rooting for them just because it's an underdog hanging tough though.
Juzang making the same shots off iso with no time on the shot clock
Hell yea UCLA!! Let’s gooo
I hope UCLA wins so that the team we lost to goes to the Finals. I think we would have competed well with Gonzaga - would have loved for Howard to have had that moment of knocking off the #1 undefeated.
Woulda-Coulda-Shoulda... but didn't make the open baskets.
I have the completely different perspective. I want them to get blown out so that my disappointment in Michigan blowing the end of their last game doesn't get magnified even further. It's one thing to miss out on going to the Final Four. It would be another to miss out on a chance to play for a national title.
not me... I hope UCLA gets wrecked so people don't try to copy UCLA's rock fight style...
It’s not that easy to find guys like Juzang.
Juzang and Campbell are pretty good players.
Many teams would be happy to have them.
what the fuck?
not sure what UCLA is doing, but still in the game right now, when I thought the zags would be starting to assert themselves...
UCLA seems really handsy though, like DBs on WRs
And what!!!
Michigan never gets those continuation calls.
That's got to be the outer limit of continuation, fellas. That was a stretch.
So weird that all tournament the refs will do everything possible to not give continuation yet on that play, Campbell gets fouled and then takes 3 steps before even starting his shooting motion and they give him continuation
I'm officially sick of UCLA....the throwing junk shit up and it going in is getting old. Campbell needs to bleep off already. Juzang's shots are one thing but Tyger's junk is ugly luck.
Nice "continuation" too. GTFO
Scrappy defense. UCLA doing to Gonzaga what they did to us and Bama. Wow!
I honestly don't know how UCLA keeps these games close. Their shot quality isn't great, they don't overall remarkable defense, and yet they have held their own against three straight top-10 teams that on any other night probably would have run them off the court. It's crazy.
It’s truly bizarre. Some crazy Juju going on!!
Juzang.
I said this before but they don't turn the ball over and against said teams have generally generated 7-9 more looks at the basket.
Now it's still taken missed FTs and hitting bad shots to get here, but they've certainly helped their chances to win by simply getting more opportunities at the basket.
terrible call that one, giving suggs his charge in the back of the UCLA guy, and getting a block call.
