2021 NCAA Tournament, Brackets and games

For those complaining about the refs being biased towards Gonzaga, in the first half the Bruins had 9 fouls to 8 for the Zags, but shot 14 free throws to 10 for the Bulldogs.

I’d like one (1) Jalen Suggs, please.

Alabama coach Nick Saban remembers speaking to Suggs, a Minnesota native and considered the state's top athlete since Joe Mauer, at the Crimson Tide's win over The Citadel in 2018.

“Well I vaguely do recall him as a player and he was a really good player," Saban said this week after Alabama's first spring scrimmage. "He's a really good basketball player, you know, too, so I can't argue with anybody about the choice that he made in terms of, you know what he's known future and how he's trying to, you know, build a career in athletics. So he was a fine young man he was a good leader. He was a very talented player, and you know I enjoy watching him play.

"He always liked playing guys you think you know a little bit, so I really enjoyed watching them play and those guys have a good team, no doubt.”

Ohio State coach Ryan Day, who was the Buckeyes' offensive coordinator when he offered Suggs in 2018 after a summer camp in Columbus, said the upside was there as a potentially highly-skilled quarterback.

“We offered him, and in the end, just didn’t feel like he was going to throw it well enough to come in and play right away,” Day said, in an interview with Yahoo Sports. “I felt like if he spent 100% of his time on football, he had a chance to develop as a quarterback. He was just raw.”

Suggs is a gifted athlete and his father says he his natural ability on the football field carried over to the hardwood. He had the "it" factor, so to speak.

I think Gonzaga is incredibly unlikable. I’ll be rooting for cheating ass Baylor.

If you forget the unsolved murder of a former player and ignore Ken Starr trying to sweep massive rape/assault cases under the carpet, then yes, Baylor is more likable.

I don’t care, old man.

Amazing that UCLA is hanging in there. Up 1 with 6 minutes left.

 

[Systems_id]

This is nuts. I expected Gonzaga to boat race them.

Same here. Great game.

UCLA up 1 with 6 minutes to go. Terrific performance by the Bruins. Zags making just enough mistakes to leave the door open.

 

[DZ83CK]

I have to tip my hat to UCLA. They have had exceptional shooting this tournament and the defense has been swarming as well. Didn't see this kind of run coming at all.

 

[BB73]

Zags could get tight down the stretch, UCLA is used to living on the edge and surviving.

 

[ScriptOhio]

Go Bruins....

Down 1 and a shot clock violation with 4 minutes left.

 

[NorthCoastKid]

You think Cal and company could have used Juzang this season? Lololol

 

[DZ83CK]

Its funny how the undefeated teams keep losing in the national semifinals over and over.

Was gonna ask if that’s the sound of the Zags’ collective sphincters I hear tightening.

You’re speaking too soon

Wow! Suggs to Timme!
