any insight on Gonzaga at Stanford?

[Underbar]

Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

Seen these teams play, Gonzaga is flat better. They're cashing at +160 reduced juice at 5dimes.

Don't think Gonzo will pull a ucla and fall asleep, although the home-cooking reffing will probably show up again.

Not a big follower of west coast hoops, but I say forget the 3.5, take

GONZ +160

Thinking the same thing underbar, Stanfords been throung a lot emotionally past few games. I see a let down here. GL!

Letdown is possible for Stanford for sure. Biggest concern I have with the Zags is the short turnaround after the late game on Monday. I put a small play on Gonzaga +160 and a little bigger on on Zags +2 for the first half.

Stanford has been playing some great ball, though.

 

[surge]

Down to +140 at cris.

 

[surge]

added u68 first half as well as Zaga +2. Thinking Stan comes out flat early. GL

will hit gonzo for more 2h. everything went stanf's way 1h, but you can see who's the better team. should be straight plywood 2h - i hope.

 

[Underbar]

beat stanford? BYOR! bring your own refs. not as bad as the other game (vs ucla), but some bias. now in OT.

stan goes nowhere in the tournament. no rebounding. mediocre shooting at best. neutral floor gonz by 12

Yeah, I never like to sound whiny, and I admit I have a play on the Zags, but it has been pretty bad at times.

 

[Underbar]

some seriously amazing shyte here! gonz vs refs in OT.

So they don't want to call low bridge on the last play of the game, but they will call palming in ot:mj07:

 

[Underbar]

looks like gonz is going to pull through thanks to shooting. but don't blame the refs, they did their part. jezoochristus on a pogo stick.

- no foul called on tied-game gonzo drive in last second.
- two brush fouls called on gonz, while stan is shooting actual shots that are actually going in, all legitimate-like
- after 3/4 bogus foul shots are missed by stanf, ref whistles gonzo for carrying! give me a break, ref.

i hear ya bro, and i'm new so its doubly worse, but i have no brief for either team. i just get sick of home reffing. it's the same thing with nc game earlier today, completely protecting hansborough.

let 'em play and call it straight up.

 

[Underbar]

stan hits 30fter at buzzer, time for second OT.

 

[vinnie]

I have under 145 :com:

 

[Underbar]

seven straight for "tired" gonzos in 2nd OT. showing some studliness. i do like these guys. they try. ravio even hits a three every fifth or sixth time.

 

[Underbar]

you're getting screwed tonight, vinnie, sucks. nothing worse than OT total loss.

 

[Phenom]

you're getting screwed tonight, vinnie, sucks. nothing worse than OT total loss.

except for a double OT total loss, still had 10 points to spare going into double OT, damn I am pissed off...

 

[vinnie]

nice call on Zaga

i am fuming too phenom. this one rubs me the wrong way because it was nowhere near the damn total. nothing worse than a wrong side cover.

 

[Underbar]

FINAL Gonz 90-86 double OT.

takeaway for those who havent seen these teams

- Gonz - keeps fighting. many teams would have fallen apart against the very biased reffing in this game, particularly at the end. very active alert D, good rebounding, ability to score inside and out. will give any team in the country a good game.

- Stanf - formidable at home where refs are used to great advantage. Lopez has some touch, other than that no real threats.
