They had a final 4 run in 1963 but who was alive to see that? . 👋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not super excited about the hire, but hope it works out. What happened to Jensen and Bryant? Also, what does this do for the key, recruiting?

azgreg Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Well done Beaves. I think the winner of USC / Oregon game beats Gonzaga (if they get by Creighton). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of them are NBA guys with legit shots to be head coaches in the NBA. Mano said Bryant wasn’t even interviewed for Utah. I think Alex is gone from the Jazz in the next few years. Bryant is in his mid 30’s. Maybe a bit soon I think. Recruiting with Smith: I think the jury is out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously can coach up talent and field a competitive team. What's needed for real success at the P6 level, though, is a bigger than life personality. Especially if you have to "import" many of your players. Advantage -- recruits can spell and pronounce his mane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastCoastFan Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Awfully quiet around here for a conference with at lest two and maybe three Elite Eight teams. Does your governor still have your bar closed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utenation Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I’m actually torn on the Zags.. I want them to beat Creighton so se can beat them. I also like Western teams to do well but they are pretty much the Boise State of basketball. Kind of annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I think this is the end of the run for e Beavs. Hate me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utenation Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 For me, there isn’t anything scary about Houston for OSU, especially when you consider who The Beavers have beat the last two weeks. Now Baylor is a different animal. I’ll call my shot. I think the Beavers’ party ends there but they beat Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Can’t wait until we can get fans back for no other reason than we won’t have to hear players (college and pro) scream “And 1” after every drive to the basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzaga actually is one of the best teams in the nation, and has a row of P6 scalps to show for it. There's no blue-field hype about Few's team. They're the real deal.

MrBug708 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I think he was probably talking about the fans. I think the Zags can be beat, but it's going to be a huge performance by someone to do so. Rooting interest after UCLA a) Anyone but USC b) Anyone but Arizona c) Anyone but Kentucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely think the Zags are the real deal. That’s not what I was talking about. I think Boise has been a hell of a program but the “they can do no wrong Cinderella, non major” rants kinda get old. I think the Zags need some hardware before we crown them the next Dream Team.

And of Colorado (beat USC three times, and something like eight straight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
