Yes, but Gonzaga had a lot to do with that.
West Virginia had 3 star guys playing against 4 and 5 star guys. Their effort defensively (full court press the entire game) was admirable and I commend their effort.
With better execution in the last minutes, they could have and maybe should have won.

| Have a feeling Kansas will blow this game wide open about half way through 2nd half. |

This is the type of game that Gonzaga would usually lose in the tournament. They actually pulled this one out, and I wonder if they've turned the corner and if this could be the year.
Oh, and that replay review on a blatantly easy play to call took longer than the O.J. trial. |

I think next year will be the first year they dont win the Big12...they lose almost everyone...Mykhailiuk and Vick will be about all that returns. They only have one 5 star coming in next season....Billy Preston. Several Big 12 teams will bring back almost everything...WVU only loses 1 starter and 4 guys in total from their 10 man rotation. |

maybe...but I think this is probably the most talented Gonzaga squad...and the deepest....probably the deepest team WVU has played, and they was the biggest factor for them being able to win. |

| Vegas is so dang good....they had Michigan as 1 point favorite, so they missed by 2 points.....they nailed the WVU/Gonzaga game with Gonzaga being 3 point favorites. |

It's not about getting it right, it's about getting even money on both sides of the bet. Crucial difference. If even money meant Michigan -7, they'd have used that as the line. |

I remember watching the opening minutes of the game vs Northwestern and thinking these guys are a bunch of damn ringers......this ain't your daddy's Gonzaga squad. |

The Blueitt/Trier battle is pretty awesome. I wonder if Arizona can pull it out without any contribution from their other guards.
Edit: and Kadeem Allen hits a big 3... |
