What’s with the lens flare during Mark Few’s interview? It looked like either they were trying to blur out the Gonzaga logo for product placement / rights purposes, or JJ Abrams is directing the broadcast.

Are you…are you serious? What kind of fresh hell is this…

It looked like that. I’m certain that wasn’t it — it was probably just moisture on the lens. But it happened to be situated in such a way that it blurred his Gonzaga logo, exactly like you might see in, say, televised poker, where they blur team logos and such on people’s hats.

IOW: it was supposed to be a joke, and it didn’t land. My bad. :grin:

Tonight game is Gonzaga’s 2nd worst shooting performance of the season and they won by 19 in a game that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. L-M-A-O

So that’s scary. I want somehow to believe that USC was far worse of a team than what I had believed.

None of the TNT NBA guys even have the slightest amount of respect for Andy Katz and it’s hilarious.

I tried for about ten minutes and it was way worse than my incredibly low expectations.

Dr. Barkley is very concerned about the ref’s hospitalization status.

It has to do with a combination of Kispert shooting poorly and Zags coasting in the 2nd half. USC’s incredible 2 pt defense basically has been reduced into nothingness for Gonzaga.

I’ve gotta admit, if a family member had that happen to them and didn’t go to the hospital I’d be flipping out.

I was remarking more on the idea that he thought he should go to the hospital but then was just blithely joking about him not going to the hospital.

Well, I agree with the doc. I see no reason not to take him there and get him checked. I saw the replay. He fainted, fell, and BOOM, hit his head on the floor. Seriously, just my opinion, I see no reason not to get him checked. Now maybe they have a full medical facility there at the arena, but if he were my son or a family member I would definitely want him checked out.

Baylor up 21 with 4 minutes left first half.

Now up 25 halftime. Maybe 2 blowouts tonight.

Gonzaga be unbeatable this year…but dang if I am not annoyed watching UCLA in this game. They have played their butts off…but still feels like they are riding an incredibly lucky streak.

at least the lucky one could’ve been Michigan State

Gonzaga missing a lot at the rim, and UCLA making a bunch of garbage jumpers.

Points in the paint 12-0 and they’re up lol.

Gonzaga by 20.

Sounds familiar
