Do we beat Gonzaga?

[Farsight Clone]

Simple black or white question. Do we beat Gonzaga?

 

[WallMash]

if Gonzaga not very good, then maybe. If Gonzaga is a good team, then no.

You tell me.

 

[TrueBluePhil]

We don't have a coach that knows how to steer the ship. He is lost

 

[Crazy4Blue]

Nope
No evidence of us being good enough to beat any ranked team

 

[BigBlue_83]

Can we? Yes. Will we? I hope I am wrong, but no

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

If Gonzaga's entire team gets food positioning maybe but it will be close

Then all of them will be like MJ in the flu game and still win. Because it's Kentucky.

 

[Farsight Clone]

So far

It's 2-2 in the total series.

I can see the headline now. "Gonzaga hits ncaa record 39 straight three's to dismantle UK".

 

[cornbreadnmilk]

No.

 

[BigBlueGuru]

I voted no just because something is not right with this team. Not sure if it is players not liking each other or what but something is just off.

 

[BMR1987]

0% chance.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Do we play the zags a Rupp this year?

 

[jedwar]

I just have not seen any evidence we can beat a team that has a pulse. I'd love it but my answer is no with what we've seen.

Nashville.

I have the same suspicion. This group is playing like they don’t trust each other. It’s “me” instead of “we”. IMO

 

[gonefishin]

If our players stop smiling and laughing when they F up, maybe.
If they start playing with heart , maybe.
If they start playing for each other, maybe.
If they can at least hit 25% on 3’s, maybe.
Show you have a pulse.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Nashville.

So instead of a 2-5 point loss, will be a 10+ loss lol

 

[Big BlueBeard]

No way in hell we win.

 

[MegaBlue05]

No. And I expect a double digit loss and an even madder fambase.

Hope to hell I am wrong.

It's not looking good cotton.

 

[Farsight Clone]

It's not looking good cotton.

 

[TheDude73]

We need Lowe and Mo back. We are horrible without a true PG and we need Mo's rebounding badly.

Pope also needs to put Garrison on the bench as a backup only when Moreno needs a breather. Or rotate him in as PF with the Croatian. Moreno has more than earned that starting spot while Garrison seems to be fading into more of a liability than he already has been.

 

[JimboBBN]

There is absolutely no reason to believe we beat Gonzaga Friday.

What has happened from pre season when everyone was projecting us in the FF and now overwhelming we are saying we can't beat the Zags. I think we need to take a deep breath and wait before we jump off the damn wall. We very well can beat the Zags and maybe more SEC teams than most think. Are we a FF team, maybe not but we are not a dumpster fire as most are claiming.

Preseason we hadn’t seen the team play, man. On paper, this roster should be pretty good. But they aren’t. We have a decent sample size at this point to back that up.

 

[Wildcat_in_DC]

I'd be shocked if we win and expecting to be beaten to a pulp. They are big and physical and attack the paint. Graham Ike will get 25 and 10 against us.

Well, we actually got to see them play instead of just hypothesising on what we wanted/expected.

And they eye test reveals:

 

[FilsonCat]

The Zags will beat the brakes off of us if we shoot like we did vs UNC. It could get very very ugly.

 

[Bungalow Bill]

Other than the beating they took from Michigan they've looked great. Very connected as a team. It would take a huge leap forward by my guys for us to win this game. Doesn't seem like we're ready to do that.

 

[ZaytovenCat]

20-30 point loss incoming. Prepare yourselves.

 

[1997_H00SIER-Cat]

I'm prepared

My son has a game tomorrow night. I’m relieved I have an excuse not to watch. That’s my confidence level.

 

[Artlaibesghost]

0% chance.

That is rediculous

 

[MidseasonTweak]

No chance. Could be a beat down on the order of what State did to us

 

[MidseasonTweak]

That is rediculous

Nope, not really. Well, I guess a 1% chance because we could technically win.

 

[anon1777473514]

Bad matchup. Don’t like having no Mo versus that frontcourt, especially what I saw from our fours on the glass in the last game. Hope we make a bunch of shots and win it —- but I had to vote no.
