For me its nota lack of respect for zaga, as much as I think Coach K is a huge freaking cheater and has maybe the top 3 picks in the draft...
More top recruits should come to Gonzaga... kinda sad that they dont. They're like the Blazers in that respect. Yet recently, theyve developed many unknown players into NBA caliber players (Olynyk, Collins, Hachimura, Tillie, Norvell).
I agree flat out basketball I think Few teaches his players how to play basketball at a higher level than Most of the “blue blood” schools at this point.
The age restriction being lifted would be huge for Gonzaga, as well as any possible punishment to big time programs due to the scandal.
Lol at Rui being able to defend... Bro, I've been watching him for the last 2 years. 1 year less than you. True story, I briefly met Mark Few and John Stockton refereeing his daughter in Spokane at a CanAm Referee camp I went to. There's a post in here of me telling the story. I've always respected the Zags. But... I stand by my word... They're gonna get RAN IN when they play Duke! I HATE DUKE.... But I respect Coach K... Y'all heard it here 1st. Duke is gonna go undefeated this season.
Rui is a good defender man. It's so weird that someone doesn't think so Most pundits, scouting reports, and Gonzaga fans note Rui as at least a solid defender. You're o ne of the few that don't think so, but that's fine. His tools match up better against Zion than most people though Duke is gonna go undefeated? Lmao. No. They're not better than that Kentucky team that had Towns and Booker...
I have a fairly passionate dislike for Bookers game so I may be a bad judge, but they’re pretty close in terms of college level ability.
That Kentucky team had much more depth though. They also played in a weak SEC, while Duke plays in a loaded ACC. @dviss1 Do you want to put money on that undefeated prediction?
A nice breakdown of his game and if it translates at the next level...... http://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/25310702/zion-williamson-favorite-moves-duke-work-nba
It's still not a very strong conference overall. But I can see why Mark Few and Randy Bennett like coaching in it. No traditional football powers on campus that you have to compete with, small but decent media markets to build a fan base.... And as long as you win your tough non-conference dates, you don't have to worry about surprise contender stealing your thunder. The WCC is never going to be judged against any super conference like the SEC, the Big 10 or ACC. The Pac-12 on the other hand is going to be seen for more of it's shortcomings when compared to other conferences and past accomplishments. If I were a coach trying to establish myself as a winner I would pick the WCC not the PAC-12. At least not while that moron Larry Scott is still commissioner.
I recently broke my no gambling for money rule on my last trip to Vegas. I don't plan on doing that again. I'll bet pushups tho.
So Zaga has to win tonight to have a chance to play Duke tomorrow. If that doesnt happen, we’ll have to wait til March if were lucky.
Holy hell Gonzaga is getting screwed by these refs... My goodness. Arizona with 20 Free Throws and counting in the first half... So many BS ticky-tack calls.
