That was some pretty atrocious shooting in the first half. Zags with a paltry 32 at the half. UConn isn't much better. I have the feeling we're going to see a very different second half, tho.

Rasir Bolton and Nolan Hickman should not be starting. I don't understand why Few is giving them so many minutes. Anyone with eyes can see how poorly they are playing.

It is appalling how bad the guards have been in the tournament. They owed Timme better in his last game as a Zag.
I’m sick to my stomach.

We need some real guards on this team. I saw this coming game 1 this year. I'm shocked we made elite eight.

Getting blown out tonight but all is not lost. IMO the Zags/UCLA last 12 seconds was one of the two greatest game finishes in NCAA Tourney history, and maybe THE best.

It’s more of a disappointment. I don’t think anyone expected a deep run, elite 8 is a notable season. This team felt like it was potentially competitive for a title when they played their best.
Few didn’t have the gameplan today, our shooters didn’t have aim. This one hurt because they played like our lowest expectations on the largest stage.
This didnt hurt like 2017, but still it felt winnable.

It felt like (not saying I suspect they did, only saying it felt like, i.e., it appeared as if) they had an extended heavy-duty celebration of the UCLA win, as if they'd just won the championship, that they were royally messed up for the UConn game. But I remember thinking when watching UConn during an earlier round that the Zags would need to play out of their minds to be able to beat them.

You watch a team religiously it gets personal. I'm like that with the Seahawks too. I always feel like every game is winnable. It's been a different sort of year in every respect, and in all respects.

Next year should be interesting. Timme and Rasir are gone, Strawther and Malachi Smith most likely gone, Anton Watson possibly as well. Will be a lot of new faces. Should make it interesting.

I think Smith will be back --- and maybe Watson. I'm sure Strawther will declare. The dude has talent but just never was a consistent scorer. I actually think he'll be a better NBA player than college since nobody contests 3-pointers in the NBA.

I think that's just because of how far out guys like Curry, Harden, and Lilliard are taking their shots. If he can replicate their body of work, then, he'll be a force to be reckoned with.

few completely under-utilized malachi smith until it was too late. dude can get to the rim whenever he wants, hits 48% from 3, is a +defender, and great rebounder for a guard. but his main attribute is his aggression. GU was soft without him in there. he should have averaged 33+ minutes/game relegating hickman and/or bolton to the bench.
hopefully malachi comes back for 1 more ride.

This is the only one that surprised me. Sounds like Strawther will be gone which is not a surprise.
