NCAA Tournament- Game 1- UCLA

[Let'sGoZips94]

We'd be in the Sweet 16 with 2 more made shots on Thursday.

 

[Blue & Gold]

Hawkes (sp?), UCLA’s leading scorer tonight w/ 15, just went down w/ 6:58 left in the game & UCLA up 55-47. Looks like he’s done for the night. UCLA’s been in control all 2nd half. We’ll see if they can hang on without him.

Oh, for Pete's sake.  Segus 3 goes in your would be watching East Mogadore Jr College and Sincere becoming the darlings of the media.

UCLA running away with it down the stretch.

[Blue & Gold]

UCLA wins it by 16, 72-56.

Announcers gave us another mention as time was expiring.

What did they say? 

[LoyalZIP]

Man. Imagine if that was us. A big crowd to meet the guys at the JAR followed by a week or anticipation and then a convoy of Zips fans to Philly.

They just said that “UCLA getting past Akron was NOT easy.”

Have u ever driven the PA turnpike?  I'm flying

[NWAkron]

And the East bracket is now wide open.  Ugh...Zips could have been in the Final Four!!

[akzipper]

The more UCLA wins, the more our loss hurts. We'll always wonder what could have been.

 

Hopefully the Zips use it as fire for next year and can make a run and prove this season wasn't just a fluke.

Interesting that a major national conversation right now is how bad the officiating is this tournament. 

 

We were getting screwed before it was cool.

I love how Jay Bilas rants about how the refs are letting players get away with excessive contact yet Enrique gets whistled every time he breathes near an opponent.

The last call on the moving screen was very weak!!!

[zippy5]

4th foul was even worse, still not convinced he even made contact

He had 2 acceptable fouls. That one was probably the worst of the other 3.

I'm surprised they have them there, so close to Kent. I wonder if they have them at the Tallmadge store, too.

One Shining Moment has a snippet of Aziz guarding a UCLA player. 

 

That's it. What a joke. 

 

Bring back this...

Great.  Kansas and that cheating Bill Self win a national championship while the NCAA plods through one of its interminable investigations.  I'll bet the Adidas money train is happy along with the Kansas administration that gave Self what is essentially a lifetime contract in the midst of the investigation.  Better yet, they win it over a school with a history of cheating.

All the top programs cheat. Some are just better at not getting caught.

If low level employees at Adidas, etc.didnt hand out money to recruits, there would be no reason for these companies to hire low level employees. 

 

In reality, the world is a lot different today than 2019 because of NIL. Promising NIL deals will replace the white envelope. The NCAA should dismiss this case before it loses another Federal lawsuit.
