UNC vs. Gonzaga Game Thread

[Vol423]

I've got my new avatar loaded and the beer's ice cold. I'm ready for tip-off! Bring on the Zags!

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Go UNC! I only say that because I want to see Butler shock the Heels next!

If Carolina matches up against Butler on Friday, you're going to see a totally different approach to breaking down Butler's defense than you saw when UT played them. Carolina's going to dominate Butler from the inside-out. Hansbrough will own the key.

Sign the apocalypse is upon us . . . Brent Musburger and Steve Lavin are now commenting on the Globetrotter routine. :wacko:

 

[Vol423]

Okay. That was fun. Now bring on Butler!

 

[tidwell]

:lol:

I'm guessing this was at the 10-0 mark, at which time I thought the same thing.

Butler 51
UNC 91

It definitely wasn't right after the Zags took the lead a few seconds ago.

It will never hold up.

You guessed it.

On a side note, please tell me the avatar will be ditched after UNC wins the PNIT.

 

[GAVol]

That half was a breath of fresh air after sitting through that last game.

I was actually thinking of ditching it when in general discussions or when discussing football but then having it full-time once football season is over and basketball season is in full force.

This site has hit a new low. :BANGHEAD2:

...or maybe I'll just keep it full-time. :lol:

 

[tidwell]

Pierre Marie Altidor-Cespedes and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute should play a game of one-on-one to decide who has most ridiculous yet coolest name in college basketball.

 

[Vol423]

:BANGHEAD2: This is looking ugly. This might end up joining the NCAA basketball upset thread. DEFENSE! :realmad:

Just watching the gamecast... Heytvelt seems to be having his way with Hansbrough, no?

 

[tidwell]

Will you ditch the avatar if Gonzaga holds on to win?

 

[OrangeSquare]

LOL.

A lot of good it's doing him.


GO ZAGS.

Gonzaga's whole defense has been collapsing on Hansbrough the whole night. Luckily, Wright is having a monster game.

 

[tidwell]

Getting close...

UNC with a +20 free throw attempts advantage.

 

[Vol423]

Will you ditch the avatar if Gonzaga holds on to win?

Nope. OrangeSquare has convinced me to keep it full-time. :dance2:

 

[tidwell]

Wright can play ball. But we knew that.

Amazing the amount of basketball talent that came out of Tennessee last year.

Yep. I feel like I should send Bruce Pearl a thank you letter for letting Wright slip out of the state.

 

[Vol423]

What a lousy night! Well, at least we get to see the UNC/UT matchup on Friday afterall.
