In a good way! :wink:

I figured that was implied. :grin:

I also figured Michigan is much more likely to win a blowout vs. UCLA than vice-versa.

Ok yeah I was wrong lol Gonzaga is going to blast USC back into becoming a football powerhouse. They stand no chance.

Honestly, if USC doesn’t show some life in the first 5 or 10 minutes of the second half, they should just invoke the “mercy” rule and start our game early!:wink:

Suggs >>>>>>> Mobley on my mock draft board. Not even the same tier, imo

I got Gonzaga winning this year if we can’t beat them (I don’t think Baylor will), and I think the Zags will have a nice chance at running it back next season as well. I think they could make a run at a dynasty-type situation in the coming years if they keep recruiting and developing guys at this level. NIL could really change things though…

Hopefully u didn’t put anything down on the Trojans with Brendan, Dylan😉

NIL might not be as big of a problem for them as you’d think. They have a national brand, and there are a lot of Gonzaga fans in Seattle. (Well, inasmuch as there are a lot of sports fans in Seattle in general. Which, there really aren’t).

Agree below Cunningham, Suggs, green and kuminga. The dude is just going get buried by 5’s in the nba.

What’s even funnier is they’re brothers lmao

Nothing like extrapolating off one game.

Idk man… my girlfriend went there and I’ve stayed in Spokane many times. It’s a really cool and underrated place, as well as brand. Their presence isn’t nothing. I don’t think they’ll struggle per se. but compared to brands like Michigan, Duke, UCLA, its gonna be tough. They just aren’t on that level. Not even close. Also, their games being buried on TV due to their weak schedule won’t help.

One Cronin is not enough…Cronin’s Cronies…“Cronin” the verb

I keep on waiting for the reveal that Cronin’s dad is some war hero or Nobel Prize winner or something, but nope. The obsession with him is completely based on the fact that Cronin indeed does have a dad. Whew, I was concerned.

That’s absurd. It’s an elite eight game after all

They got Suggs. They’re getting Sallis and Chet for next season. Gonzaga is finally reeling in blue chip talents which makes them a scarier team for years to come now that Few is pulling in elite talents.

Will he be the first coach that has ever had a dad attend an Elite 8 game?
