    Jose Cuervo conspired against me, and I missed the second half of that one.

    That was unbelievable. Mick and the Bruins brought it and went toe-to-toe with the the Zags.

    Epic game from start to finish.

    I hope the final lives up to this game.

    The ending of that game was superb, but the previous 44 minutes weren't nearly as good as this game.

    Greatest men’s college game of our lifetimes because of the stakes involved: a place in the NCG and saving an undefeated season.

    How many true buzzer-beaters have there been in the Final Four? Talking game-winning baskets that go through with triple zeroes. Off the top of my head:
    • Gonzaga-UCLA 2021
    • Villanova-North Carolina 2016
    • Kentucky-Duke 1992
    • North Carolina State-Houston 1983

    Any others?

    Bruins played great ... Tyger Campbell has made me a fan, between his game and his hair. And I was rooting for Gonzaga!

    Speaking of that ... masks or no, the collective Spokane region is losing its mind right about now. Party on, Garth!

    I grew up on all things UCLA. Still a follower and huge fan. But I wanted the Zags for the history of an unbeaten season and for Mark Few and what he's done for that program.

    Hoping they don't waste this on Monday night and that it turns into their Tyus Edney in 1995 moment like it did for the Bruins.

    Still can’t wrap my brain around this one. Can’t remember a college game that was this good from start to finish. That game was incredible.

    Barkley said something that really resonates with the time we live.

    “I’m so glad I was here!”

    There were fans, but not a lot.

    I also don’t think this game was a fluke. UCLA would beat Gonzaga, maybe 25% of the time, if they played a hundred more times.
