Gonzaga vs. Utah
I loved watching that beatdown.
Before the game I said that the Gonzaga guards would be the x-factor. They are great defenders, but at times have been completely absent on offense. Not last night. They lit it up and vastly outplayed the Utah guards.
They turned Utah's strength of size and length against them, by staying small and dominating from the outside.
And then you have that great front line of Sabonis and Wiltjer, with W stretching the floor.
Utah looked completely befuddled. And Poetl looked hapless. Just last week Simmons was speculating that someone like Poetl could go off in the tournament and a team could fall in love with a player like him and take him ahead of Simmons. Poetl may have just played himself out of the lottery. He lost a ton of money last night.
And Coach 80k looked like an imbecile in a suit. I hope he takes a job elsewhere, sick of his mug. He doesn't belong in the state of Utah. They need someone who gives a sh*t about something besides himself.
