Best game of the tournament
It is because it is true.

I saw this earlier and am wondering about a college student who was at the Bama UCLA game a week ago, and now he’s dead. I found another story that said St Elmo’s Steakhouse in Indy was shut down due to 9 positive cases of coronavirus in employees. The Bama student was very active on Twitter. He even tweeted on April 1. It’s shocking.
Not to take away from Gonzaga’s amazing win. I thought they would slaughter UCLA.
Gonzaga could be a little drained Monday, but I think it was good for them to finally have a tough game. Credit to UCLA for playing better than most folks thought they could, and credit to Gonzaga for gutting one out when most of their games are blowouts. That game was well worth watching. My guess is Gonzaga has had their scare and will now beat Baylor a bit more easily than UCLA, but who knows?

What the H? What kind of comment is that? Are you drunk?
UCLA played the game of their lives
Baylor is underdog. By 5.5 points
Corey Kispert had an off night scoring. Otherwise Zags would have been up by more.
Suggs, deservedly so, gets the headline, but what a game by Joel Ayayi! Great player!
Horrible and racist. And ignorant to boot. We don’t need idiots like this on our side
It still is.
No question. It was the best game I've watched in years.
Too bad it wasn’t enough. Two 1 seeds.
That walkoff though.
Charles Barkley and I both agree with you. In this case, his opinion is rather more authoritative!
“Fluff” (Mr. Ratliff) looks like he was pretty heavy. So, perhaps not quite so surprising. One of my wife’s friends is 39, not obese, but could stand to lose 10-15% of her body weight. COVID put her in the hospital back in Nov. ‘20, and while out in a couple weeks, she is still having problems / dealing with significant lung damage.
Halfway there (that final shot), I thought we would see a 2nd overtime because, aside from the improbability of making such a shot, I thought the trajectory was too high.
So much for that assessment!
Heck of a game.
LOL Charles is like a broken clock. He’s RIGHT, twice a day.
But, in this case... He’s right on time.
I am not sure about easily but Gonzaga may not be quite as up for the game as you indicate. Baylor needs to focus on defense which they are very capable of doing and not get into a run and gun shootout.
Go Bears.
Two old Southwest Conference teams in the last two Championships Texas Tech and now Baylor, who would have ever thought that?
Looks like you are correct. Zags are so bad tonight the game is unwatchable. Jeopardy is more exciting.
Well, they have come back enough to make Baylor nervous.
