"March Madness Ends: Who You Got?!" Open Game Thread (And Drinks...Duh!).
Let's do this. Tip off is coming up. All you EST people are probably mad and climbing into bed, though! It is a late start and a bit ridiculous. Thanks Phoenix.
Definitely rooting for Gonzaga. I have UNC winning in a bracket entered in a Craft beer-pool but I'm not sure anything that great would come to me anyway. Ergo, Go Gonzaga. Hoping for a fun game, regardless. No way last year gets replicated but a good game nonetheless is all we can hope for.
Also describe in great detail what's being poured as well, obvi. Lot's of 2017 KBS I imagine?!
and i feel dirty for picking them.
red wine. just a bit. did barn chores before the rain started. i think the livestock like it that way.
Gonzaga +105. Buddy's Pizza and Mexican Coke. Berry's ankle injury will be the difference.
You're snorting cocaine on a Monday night? You wild man!
If you work in certain industries today is Saturday.
From the username it would seem he's actively seeking employment.
Looking at that wide shot of the stadium, I don't know how 85% of the people in the building are seeing anything on that court without a telescope.
Zags win and I win the pool I am in. I followed Seth's helpful bracket tools and owe him a shout out if the Zags win me the cash tonight.
I can't find a reason to root for UNC or any team coached by Williams.
100 for Williams and 44 for Few
I have a bunch of friends from UNC and have never met someone who attended Gonzaga/am not sure it truly exists. but can't bring myself to root for Carolina. I'm third in my office pool behind someone who picked Carolina and someone who picked the Zags.
Interesting that the two finalists -- who genuinely do seem the best two teams in the country this year -- really thrive off the post-up game in a day and age when the game seems to be going the other way.
Well, there's drinking involved, yes...
As they talk about that '56 championship game, was that the real championship back then or was the NIT still the more prestigious?
Will have Sierra Nevada (Jobbie) Nooner going.
I still think Michigan was the best team in this tournament. Frowny face....
I'm guessing most people who have no personal stake in the game are rooting for the Zags.
I have a personal stake.
I hate North Carolina.
At first I thought that said "Allen movie," and was surprised that Woody Allen would be using CGI...
That is a terrible call.
The Zags should be up by a lot more. They're getting better shots than UNC (who looks really out of sync), but just missing a lot.
they have also missed some great looks. Missed a bunch from the block, a bunch of wide open shots from the perimeter, and a number of wide open looks from the elbow.
It seems to me that they're throwing up a lot of rushed shots early in the clock. I know they like to play at a fast tempo but it looks like they're not too comfortable out there.
they're missing quite an assortment of shots. Bradley is missing some shots that I just can't believe he's missing.
Gonzaga has missed more bunnies than Elmer Fudd.
Karnowski is just brutal. His parade of missed 4-footers is keeping UNC in the game.
Wow, Kenny Smith is a homer.
poor and incredibly weak play has stood out so far.
It's like Bell stole Hicks soul with that block to start Saturday's game. He finally got one to go down, but has been utterly terrible over 3 halves.
The guards on Gonzaga have been really strong going after it on the defensive boards, but the forwards on NC have also simply been outfought on 50/50 rebounds.
Oh, and Nate Britt needs to play very sparingly. He's struggling to guard people. Pinson needs to be on the floor as much as possible.
Gonzaga has forgotten this is a National Championship game. No intensity, focus, or effort.
