I’m not a fan of Gonzaga, but it’s sad when refs decide a championship.

I thought, in 2nd half, when Gonzaga called time out and came back shooting, that Gonzaga would win and North Carolina would become the Buffalo Bills of college basketball, always a runner up. But, ‘Heels got it together. Great game. Two great teams.

The NCAA does not want a West coast team, or a non-major conference to win the championship. It’s a shame, because it would be more exciting, if they allowed it.

Why the hell is a college sports association (NCAA) trying to dictate state law anyway?

The Zags were so amazing this year. Painful to lose but they never did hold the lead like they did almost all games this season. They made it to the championship game. And next year they will be unbeatable.

Congrats to NC.

I told my wife and friends that the NCAA might let UNC win this one since HB2 was repealed.

Anyone who thinks rooting for UNC somehow is associated with conservatism is a fool.

The school is a new age mecca laden with lefty socialism thick as a bowl of day old oatmeal.

I despise them...to make it worse, the university owned many slaves at one time, so is y our typical liberal-in denial university of lefty racists...oh, don’t get me started on their feminist causes and planned parenthood associations.

For anyone who is black to even attend there or play basketball for them is a disgrace. If you think I am exaggerating, the do your own due diligence. I am 100% accurate. Oh, no, they aren’t all like that, so that doesn’t fly. UNC is from like 1793.

Another thing about UNC, they are the only school in history to find a practical use for their African American Studies department.

Congratulations from a Gonzaga alum. We had our chances, and didn't take advantage of them.

It was a great year for the Zags, an historic season without a doubt. The team did us proud all year long, and our best days are in front of us.

We had one Academic All American in Nigel Williams-Goss, and a couple that made the conference all academic team. We consistently max the academic performance standards established by the NCAA.

It's going to take another day or two to get over it, but the Zags are loaded for the next 2-3 years. Five, maybe six of our 8 man rotation return next year, and we have a couple of stellar redshirts that will contribute. No doubt there will be a stud graduate transfer or two who will want to join our winning program and play in March.

A 50,000+SF training facility is under construction as well. I think it's safe to say we are one of the "Big Dogs" in college basketball.

Just so proud of these young men, gave us many hours of thrills over these 39 games this season.

Biggest thrill for me was our trip to Nashville for the Tennessee game in December. All 3 of my boys made the trip, my two sons (28 & 15) and 6 YO grandson. My grandson was part of the halftime entertainment, featuring a "slam dunk" contest with two other boys. It was great fun, and a memorable moment for us.

Unlike the "blue blood" programs, Zag basketball is a journey, not a destination. It's just that we went a bit farther this year.

At crunch time UNC got their act together for a 2 minute spurt and did what was
necessary to win the game. Overall I wasn’t impressed by either team’s play.
A couple of baskets, missed or made could have changed the outcome but thats
history now.
