Gonzaga Looks Good

  • I know WVU has had a tough season but most of the games they lost were right down to the wire. No one blew them out like Gonzaga just did. Plus It was almost a home game for WVU. I hope Gonzaga used up most of their threes and have little left for Saturday...I hope. Assuming we win tonight, Gonzaga will be a huge challenge.

  • Yes they do.

    If we don't start taking their heads out of their a$s - it might be Loyal playing Gonzaga.

    thomas played his best game of the year with very little help from anyone else. these guys all (except for craft) play defense with their hands down at their sides. sullinger can't move laterally to save his life. craft has to stop slapping at the ball so much. none of these other guys has a clue how to get open against a press or how to run the offense.
    we made way too many turnovers with careless passes.
    one bright spot in addition to thomas was pretty good foul shooting.
    we will have to play much,much better against gonzaga on saturday.
    scott threw two of the worst passes i have ever seen.

    Gonzaga is a very good team and they know how to score very effectively. OSU bench is useless on the offensive side of the ball. No one had better complain why Matta doesn't use his bench. Gonzaga's bigs are good. OSU needs to play a lot better versus the Zags than the Greyhounds. OSU needs to pass the ball better and they turn the ball over way too much.

  • My bracket in that region will be a mess as I have OSU beating Syracuse in the elite 8, after watching round 1 I don't think either team will get there.

    Agree, Gonzaga looked great and we will definitely need to play better to knock them out. West Virginia has young guards who haven't played well all season and definitely got taken to school by Gonzaga.

    I'm sure Craft will do much better, and one area where we continue to improve is rebounding. Gonzaga's bigs played well, but Sullinger and Thomas were very impressive yet again against Loyola, who we out-rebounded by a huge margin. Getting to the glass is one way to make up for less than stellar shooting.

  • West Virginia SUCKS!!...Can't win if you can't score and West Va. can't score or play D...Don't judge Gonzaga by blowing out WVU......WVU Center is Horrid...the Bucks needed to do what they did last night ...Just Win

  • Its all about match-ups..the WVA team I saw was terrible and did not match up at all with Gonzaga........you cannot compare what one team did to what another team did in this tournment. OSU plays defense...the Mountaineers did not! Lets see what happens when Gonzaga plays our defense. WVA appeared slow and not very athletic as compared to the Zags......not impressed wiht WVA and Huggins at all While the large "giant" like player for the Mountainners was big and a physical speciment, he had no game.....let the Zags stop Sully even wiht their 7 footer..should be interesting....

  • Tommy, I agree. WVU looked like shit. Gonzaga is a good team but damn WVU didn't show up at all.

  • Saw Gonzaga last year in the tournamant in Denver. They looked fantastic in the first round and then got trashed by BYU in the second. They got blown out. Scacre and Harris did nothing and the whole team quit 10 minutes in.
