Ok big 10 champion can’t handle the middle of the PAC ( 11seed) who had to beat Wichita to get in.

Was it Wichita? It’s been so long I can’t remember

The only thing worse than this game is the studio commentary that will follow.

We were ripped for sure. We should definitely still be playing. Glad to see the B1G shutout!

Nice run by Cronin and UCLA!.. From barely making it to the NCAA Tourney to landing in the Final 4.. Too bad, Gonzaga is gonna beat the crap out of them.

UCLA beat Michigan without Juzang most of the 2nd half.. That to show how overrated the Big 10 has been.

It was so exciting I woke up from my nap in the recliner to see the last missed FT and all the timeouts and final miss....

Big 10 basketball = still ugly as hell
Having an NBA player as coach doesn’t help either

Cronin has mellowed.

Few has had numerous opportunities to leave. Says he enjoys his life without thinking BB 24/7/365.

Good for him.

I was listening to the Gonzaga game on the radio when the announcer suddenly stopped calling the game and said a referee had collapsed

Bert Smith

It was scary on the radio and when I saw it on video even scarier

Everyone from my generation and more, especially after the ESPN Guru of Go documentary will never forget Hank Gathers. And last night was frightening

So glad Smith was reported as doing much better. The trainers from both teams, local medical team and everyone all acted very fast and should commended. Here is to a healthy Final Four

Well, they did make the Elite 8 with one of their top players recently sidelined with an injury.

Remember when the experts told us that UCLA was nuts for hiring Cronin, and that Cincy had upgraded with Brannen?

My brother lives in Spokane, it really is nice there.

I want Gonzaga to win it just because of the hate for them from fan bases like Kentucky.

Gonzaga is been a elite program for the last few years... But the NCCA Championship have eluded them so far.. This must be the year they win it all.

I saw them last night and they look like a NBA team LOL

If we could get to the Elite 8 playing ugly, I'd be ok with that.

Go Coogs! Knock off Baylor for the Texas championship! Screw the Big XII!

With a Gonzaga - Houston matchup the championship game would be West Coast vs American. Nothing better could happen to the committee.

They pass the ball more than the NBA..Actually more than any team I’ve seen in a while.. I like watching them because they run actual plays without much of the one on one crap.. They do have a player that can take anyone off the dribble and get to the rack but Suggs I think it is, keeps his teammates involved without trying to do it all himself.. They will win it unless they beat themselves.. Baylor is the only team,I think, that could possibly hang with them..
