That ending's about the best way to split the baby, for me. I wanted the Pac-12 to show out and get respect but it's real tough rooting for UCLA to be the vehicle for that. Outstanding college game.
Great game for an uninvested fan to watch!!!
I haven’t watched much CBB this year, but really glad I picked this one!!

If you would have said a game in the 80's you would have said UCLA got killed. That is where it was before overtime. Great fight by the Bruins till the end. They even had a bit of defense on that last shot. Other observations, "hands of stone" Riley had his best game ever. Tyger had a great 3/4 of the game then faded. Don't know what has happened to Jamie the last two games. He is tough but didn't really control the game as much as I though he would. Great game. Tough way to lose. Looks like two PAC 12 teams in the final only it is Womens.

If I never see that "block" against Riley again, I'd die a happy man. Oof
Arizona State might have the most surprisingly anemic history in men's basketball of any program that you might think is better than it is.
-Norlander.
Throughout the game, I kept recalling the U of A’s 96-95 double overtime round-of-32 game vs Gonzaga...
This time I was imagining Gonzaga fans having a near heart attack as did I during that terrifying event!!!
So relieved to be a neutral fan for this one!!!

Exactly this.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

So I think UCLA has a real bitch on that play and it wasn't the block which was clean. They hit the net when going for the block which to me was close to interference.

Well, the Zags finally have a natty. Congrats to Zags nation!
Really. I thought they had to play the last game to be crowned champs? Maybe they do win, but it won’t be without a fight from Baylor who was taking notes all during the game.

Yeah I jumped the gun. Shows how much I follow the tourney when we're not in it.

That would have been a great finish to the tourney!

Baylor's speed has the Zags at a reactive speed not their own.

How the fuck did Baylor lose twice?
The Pokes outran them for 40 minutes in one of those. Hellofa game.

I love how they phrased it as "Stanford escapes" because we made it a lot closer than the Zags are making it now.
Thanks for the shoutout Chuck!

Zags just blew two good opportunities to get to single digits.

I'm honestly shocked at how this game is going. Didn't think Baylor had this in them against Gonzaga.

Gonzaga getting worked. Baylor has some amazing defense. I'm a gambling degenerate, I put some money on Baylor. Looks like a good payout for me tonight
