Easier to do when you have a legit 2 deep of athletes.

I know next to nothing about Gonzaga or any of their players other than Timme but we sure seem a lot deeper than them.

Up 19 and Timmy has 2 pts 3 fouls and like 15 turnovers.

It happened against Purdue as well. He's a below the basket player that pairs that with an inconsistent shot. He will have some big games, but he went from our #1 option last year to 5th or 6th this year.

Our starting 5 is deeper than theirs, if you get my drift.  They are nowhere near the #2 team in the country.

Finally a foul call on damn Zags...

8min left

78-62  Horns lead

---------------------------------------------

Step up our defensive effort next 4min game within the game Horns.  Don't help Zags get to foul line so easily.

LET'S FUCKIN' GO !!! 🤘

Fouls

 

Texas 18

Gonzaga 8

Or maybe that’s what happens when, you know, one team is aggressive on defense and forcing the action and the other is allowing their opponent to shoot 53% from the field

True but I refuse to believe they are overrated by much.  They're just not a team that gets overrated much.  Unlike...

Just so I can keep my mental model accurate, you're @satyanash, right?

Ha, nah. It’s rare imo for a team not to make a little run late in a 15-20 point game. Texas won’t blow this by any chance, but if there is a run it’d be fun for the D to stifle it right down as the cherry on top.

Yeah, to temper my expectations, I checked Gonzaga's Kenpom ranking.

It's 4.

Timmy Allen with a night to forget. 

i seriously believe that's a great sign.  Our best player last year is sucking ass and we are still blowing them out.  He's veteran enough that I'm sure he'll bounce back.  Can't imagine what it would be like when he plays like his usual self.

They nearly lost to MSU (in OT) and will probably also be abused by Kentucky on Sunday.  It's taking longer than expected, but they'll be re-ranked like Marquette in due time.

Carr may be a necessary evil on this team. He makes a few WTF dumbass plays every game but also seems to have a few amazing, highlight reel plays that result in buckets.

I still think Gonzaga beats Kentucky on Sunday tho…

This gonzaga team is not the zags teams of the last few years. I think Kentucky handles them easily.

We’re not a basketball school when we’re doing an overrated chant with 5 minutes left. 

I mean they're getting their asses beat by the "#11" team in the country.
