Sunday plays

Will post more in the morning but you gotta be on Gonzaga (-5) against arizona

and portland state (-15) against washington.

Washington never leaves home.. ever.. they are nothing special this year, just like the last few years and portland state was an ncca tournament team last year with most of the team returning, they will cover 15

Gonzaga is just really good, only giving arizona 5 points is nearly an insult to them but i'll take the gift.

I am a Husky, and I have to agree with you. The team is playing a lot better than last year and showing some potential, but they still turn the ball over a lot and have trouble putting teams away -- 15 is a lot of points. Portland St. is well coached, led by former Husky assistant and Seattle Pacific standout Ken Bone. Bone was a big part of the Husky's success a few years ago (hard to believe they were the #1 seed in the west in '05) and the player development and 'exes and ohs' have taken a turn for the worse since he left. He also has former Husky guard Curtis Allen as an assistant, so you can be sure they have this game circled. Very solid play IMO

That Gonzaga line sure seems low to me, hmmm...it can't be a case of underestimating the Zags -- not sure how you can overlook the #4 team in the nation coming off a blowout of WSU in Pullman, but Arizona is a tough place to play as well. I see the Zags pulling away in the end like they usually do, looks like a good play...

Yeah the game is in arizona but in like phoenix at a bigger arena. Some 2 game charity thing with arizona state playing power house IUPUI... shouldn't be as hard as playing actually @ arizona

 

[crazykind]

oh ye for sure, didn't know that...nothing like true home court advantage, although the lazy Wildcat fans who don't like the "stand until your opponent scores" thing would have loved this game :lol:

speaking of unfortunate fans, how about yelling "GO IUPUI!" all night long haha

 

[slimjd008]

pronounce it EW-EE-POO-EE

 

[crazykind]

lol in that case, i'm a fan

 

[slimjd008]

lol in that case, i'm a fan

lol good man

 

[crazykind]

Phil Nelson, another former Husky, got us the cover singlehandedly...almost beat my Dawgs outright, i went from sweatin' the viking cover to sweatin' the Husky win lol

nice call :toast:

gonna have to keep an eye on Zona, their new coach has them playing hard

YEah i don't even know what happened to the zags today... Daye played amazing and bouldin played well but it pretty much ends there... Heytvelt really just looked lethargic, i dunno if he was sick or what but something was up.. Oh well wasn't expecting an undefeated season for the zags but i only think they should lose 1 more after this to be honest. 1 loss to either uconn, Tennessee round 2, or memphis is still ok..

Think running the WCC shouldn't be to hard and they will head into the tourney with a 1 or 2 seed.. prob 2.

And idk was it just be or were those some arizona homer refs? Hill had about 8 fouls that game, 4 were called... and the zags got some phantom fouls going for boards... gay

 

[crazykind]

yeah it wasn't meant to be for the Zags today - they got some questionable calls against them, but not really anymore than you can expect on the road...this loss can help them as undefeated can mean a lot of pressure, overconfidence, etc...gotta hand it to Arizona, they came to play today and deserved to win, although it seemed the Zags turned it on a little late...every team has an off game now and then, and if this is an off game for Gonzaga then I'll take it as a Zag fan...Some comments on the board here about a lack of true post presence and it looks like they have a point, will be interesting to see how Few adjusts

I will be there for the battle in Seattle against UConn next week, should be one helluva game...Thabeet is a monster, i hope they lock Heytfelt in his hotel room and he gets some quality z's =)

 

[slimjd008]

Ah nice the battle in seattle should be fun, yeah i think they can beat uconn, Thabeet was really unimpressive last year against the zags.

price was the only reason they stayed in that game and gonzaga ended up winning without josh heytvelt.. should be an interesting game
