    Great game, as any playoff should be.

    It was a great game! It was a bit too close, for my comfort, but we got the win!!! Go Zags!

    Great Game Gonzaga, but you’ll have to
    play a whole lot better friday…..your
    playing the BIG DOG’s….in Memphis.

    Go Tar Heels

    I was disapointed with the UW. They came out flat and let Purdue take the ball away from them seemingly at will. When you get 15 points down, it’s a hill that is tough to climb. Had Washington played like they wanted the game in the first half, I believe they would have walked away with the game.

    EagleKeeper44, Exactly!

    love my Zags and my Heels. Disappointing that my two teams have to play each other. Ty Lawson looks healthy enough to make the UNC naysayers look foolish. I hope with everything I have that GU pulls it out. May the victor run the table!

    Jimmymac: Agree with the disappointment of both
    our home teams playing each other…..But, the Tar
    Heels have their steamroller going now …..
    GU is going to be road pizza on friday……….

    Go Tar Heels

    ((North Carolina))

    EagleKeeper,
    I’m hoping for the game of the year on Friday. Can’t believe Tyler only got to the charity strip 6 times today. I think the Zags got a good lesson tonight on matchups. I’m looking for Few and co. to put Goodsen (or even Gray) on Ty Lawson, rather than risk Pargo out front. I’d say Downs too but they need his 6‘9 frame on Green. Man I wish I could fast forward thru this week :)

    JimmyMac,
    Few & co. will probably make a lot of
    changes but to no avail…..the steamroller’s
    calliope will be playing “Dixie” as it turns GU
    into that road pizza I mentioned….

    Go Tar Heels

    I was glad to see my Zags celebrate like they did. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen that kind of enthusiasm from them. For several years, they’ve been a bit too buttoned-down.

    I like all of the comments, but the Eagle guy has it right.

    If the Zags can beat UNC, and on any given night they could, then they could go all the way, imo.
