Exactly.
My dad is a big-time Zags fan. He didn’t expect them to get past USC...but they did. He was quite pleased. For UCLA, he’s not sure. He thinks they’re a “weird-looking” team (mostly because of their hair, of all things). He says the Bruins tend to pay “sloppy”, but they’ve beaten teams they should not have been able to beat.
IF the Zags get past tonight, there’s a chance they’ll be facing Baylor. They were supposed to play each other 3 times this season, but all 3 times, it was cancelled due to the ‘rona. It’s a matchup that many have wanted to see all year.
Concerning Gonzaga, one guy said “It’s like watching an NBA team playing in college uniforms”.
We’ll see.
My uncle was a freshman going to sophomore when STockton got drafted. Big time fan. Even when Tom Lloyd was coach and as Mark Few who built that program, the students back then knew Lloyd didnt care about the program.
Actually my uncle met Stockton at campus and as I recollect, he just came back from the US Olympic basketball tryouts..which rejected Barkley, Karl Malone and Stockton.
