Also, Duke honestly has not gotten any of the calls down the stretch.

jesus christ barrett

[spystud13 2371]

Congrats Barrett, you were fucking AWFUL in the last 2 minutes. 

[Catdaddyhorn 3467]

Gonzaga tried like hell to give that game away,  but ultimately they couldn't.  

[Underdog 29175]

Zags did just about everything they could to lose this.  

[kingkoopa6 8692]

that was fun..

 

no foul tho?

[Goo Punch 4275]

maybe let Zion touch the ball? maybe?

[52-80 19377]

It's always nice to see Duke lose.

[chase25 2048]

Will end up being a blessing in disguise, will allow Coach K to coach this team hard knowing they aren't Teflon.

[Scraps 13799]

Maybe Gonzaga will go undefeated.

[Horny Bull 2766]

Fuck Duke. Zags are for real.

[Underdog 29175]

Looked to have a better shot instead of trying for contact/whistle.

dont think he touched it again after the easy ass shot he made with like 3 minutes left in the game.

Maybe Gonzaga will beat them by 21 points!

The view from above looked reasonably clean.

[Jhawk 1075]

This is going to be like 2008 where there are a clear top 4-5 teams and everyone else. What a game.

Way too tough in bball

Whoa, anybody else hear that Jay Bilas jab at Jay Williams lol

that shot you're talking about is one of the most impressive things i've ever seen. the power, the agility, the speed, the ease with which he just took what he wanted as the Zags stood helplessly by...wow. 

[Machinator 32103]

That FT shooting was horrendous, but good for the Zags. These are games they lose even just a few years ago.

yes. and now Williams on talking about the difference between his freshman and sophomore year was he knew how to maintain his intensity, etc, etc. Well, Jay, Duke stars leave after freshman year now.

[Scraps 13799]

Way too tough in bball

I was joking since Duke was supposed to go undefeated according to some national tards

they wouldve won but just ran out of time

[UTDD 362]

I get that Zion might be undersized and not a perfect fit for the NBA on paper/position but when I watch him for a few minutes and then Barrett, I am feeling Zion more for # 1 for sure.

Especially them saying that after 3, 4, or 5 games. I flipped over to the Louisville game and heard the announcers talking about how awesome was Louisville's bench this season, after three games.

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Fucking announcers suck. Announcers in the games suck and the studio guys suck too. That kid with Williams and Greenburg telling us now how this was a really good test for Duke. Williams is now explaining his Cavaliers comment. Letting us know that Duke is indeed a talented team. Thanks Jay.

Who says he's not a good fit?  Today's NBA is perfect for him in my eyes.  He's much more skilled than I gave him credit for and he'll only improve in the NBA.

Mark Few only makes $1.9 million at Gonzaga, just going to throw that out there.

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Tennessee was only 8/22 from 3 and Louisville was 11/28, and The Vols still scored 92 and won by 11.

[Underdog 29175]

This game even has Beale, Jalen and Pierce talking about it.

I think he could be a superstar personally, but some question his outside shot , true position (is he skilled enough to guard wings/long enough to guard bigs?) and durability long-term.  I think he's the best athlete I have seen coming towards the NBA since LeBron arrived many years ago.

That we know of. I'm sure donors are giving him whatever he needs to stay comfy.

I look at him as potentially a Draymond Green type hybrid power forward/center. He has shown himself to be a willing passer who isn't completely atrocious from the outside.  A team like Atlanta that is attempting to replicate what Golden State did out west (their GM is a former Warrior personnel guy) is probably salivating over Zion right now.  

[ClubWhatever 12301]

Gonzaga looked like us on offense at the end of that game.

Yeah I can see some of that potential, throw in a little Charles Barkley offensively too and you got yourself a player there.

[texasstrong12 4668]

This is Few's best roster at Gonzaga and his best shot to win it all. 

Don't forget they are without Tillie right now. A guy that averaged 12.9 points and 5.9 rebounds a game last year.

If Mark Few wanted to make more money, he would have left Gonzaga years ago. Just going to throw that out there.

[Jhawk 1075]

I want to go ahead and say this might be the best start to the season in recent memory regarding quality games.

#1 Ku v. #10 MSU

#2 UK v. #4 Duke

11 auburn v. 25 washington

8 nova v. 18 michigan

13 oregon v. 15 cuse

16 vatech v. 23 Purdue

1 duke v. 8 auburn

3 zags v zona

#2 KU v. marquette

1 duke v. 3 zaga

5 tennessee v. Louisville 

To finish the week there is going to be another top 5 and another top 25 match up on Friday.

I love it when the big teams play big games early in the season.  College basketball is really getting a lot of things right at the moment when it comes to scheduling.  If they keep the refs in control it is going to be an amazing season.

He likes being the biggest fish in the small pond.  Plus he gets great transfers and recruits exactly the type of player he wants, not just the sexiest players.  I don't think he'll ever leave when St. Mary's is the only school to ever challenge him and that only happens once every 3-5 years.

[texasstrong12 4668]

Daniel Gafford is 23/26 from the field in the last 3 games. Might be the best player in the country. He is unreal. 

[DeadArmadillo 907]

If you made 2M per in Spokane and were essentially a living God to 500k people, it would take quite a bit to pull you away. He won't leave unless he decides he wants a different kind of challenge.

Whatever dumbfuck on TV said Duke could beat the Cavs--so Gonzaga could, too?

[BigOrange1 6611]

[PittsburghTiger 6341]

Nice win for AU

Especially on the no calls on Dukes last two possessions. Both of which I fucking garafuckingtee he will get come March.

UCLA being ranked #17 in the country is a joke. No shot this team is anywhere close to a top 25 team.

It’s just as dumb to have these basketball rankings at this point in the season as it is for the football rankings before October
