This game epitomizes many of the reasons
that NBA <<<<< College bball
I switched to Mythbusters
The NBA’s got nothing on college ball.
comeee on NBA
at least modern family is on to steal my attention

The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!

Doing their “star watch” thingy.
cincy in red uni's

The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
miami and orlando are tied. shitty.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
about five minutes in. on espn360
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
6-5 zags. 4 minutes in. meech with 4
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
matt's three was awful
he seems to really like pulling up with about 20 seconds in the shot clock and casting one up
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
nothin is slower than the end of nba games. sooooo miserable
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
yah! vince carter puts orlando up 3. 14 seconds left
so that means there will be about 10 more minutes of game. f.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
elias misses a three. what a bad posession that was!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!

good gameplan by cincy
they are giving meech room to penetrate and luring him in.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Matt.
You KNOW they are going to double. Don’t look surprised.
7-6 cincy. bad offensive game both ways. bouldin just turned it over. looks horribly flustered
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
for as good as matt has been in second halves
he has been equally bad in the first.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Nice shot GJ
We still look like we have no idea what we want to do against their D
they're taking matt and steven out of the game
brilliant. this is why matt and steven aren’t point guards.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Matt looks like really frazzled
I mean, REALLY frazzled
better keep his mouth shut too
he’s got nothing to complain about.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
they are showing zero respect for meech and gj
smart
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
nice, physical effort
by rob and kelly on that rebound! gotta battle!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
sacre
Gets rinky-dink fouuls called on him. Foul on cincy. Olynyk air ball.

This team does not have 3 point shooters
And Cincy knows it
let's get matt in the post!
he’s getting hounded outside.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
pull matt. he's totally frustrated.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Beautiful.
Glad to see someone create something inside the 3 pt line.
elias back in.
grant for matt. good subs
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Because Cincy is forcing their will inside
Hate to say it
wow. we look bad on offense.
zero rhythm
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
very bad.
we’ve never been the best of starters but we look confused by what cincy is throwing at us
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Adjust
Come on Few, gotta step up here and coach em here.
by coltinjespersen on Nov 25, 2009 7:36 PM PST reply actions
to be honest
i was worried about the adjustments for this game. playing a team like Wisconsin and then transitioning to a team like Cincy is a huge difference. That being said, great teams can adjust on the fly. Let’s see if we can.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
wow rob
great jumper. bailed us out there.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
forearm shiver by lance stephenson.
thug
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Don't mind the contact
Agree with the announcers, would have appreciated an extended hand.
Meech is tough as nails
Love the guy. Just love him.
playing terrible on O
but still keeping it tight. got to establish Elias and would be nice if mark few would post up matt but who knows.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
What am I missing here?
Cincy doesn’t look that good. They’re physical but we should be up. This is a game for GJ and Meech. Now is the time for speed. JMO
A little intimidated
guys say they like to play tough, lets see how they respond.
Loved Meech’s score after that forearm shiver. Thats the mentality the rest of the team needs.
matt's on the board!
praise jesus
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
He twittered that the gym was hot earlier today
Tweet tweet
show you belong, manny!
excited to see him in
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Glad they finally called that
Sacre is getting mugged on the block
cincy up seven
big three by deonta vaughn with shot clock winding down.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
completely out of control matt bouldin
offensive foul
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Thank you Steven
I think Matt was looking at the game clock, not the shot clock.
loved that late half play
move the ball instead of letting one man iso…aka the jeremy pargo play
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Here's the good news
a few solid posessions and we are leading this game. i’m still confident. matt will figure it out. if steven can carry some momentum from that three, he can also get hot.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
you guys have been incredible so far but...
Doesn’t look like a 72-66 final.
Sure wish I could have seen the first 10 minutes.
That stupid NBA game was 3 hours long – worse then most baseball games. Its amazing how the NBA can turn one minute into 15 minutes. I HATE the NBA since what happened to Seattle.
Also my internet was slow, comcast is horrible as usual, so could not watch it on espn 360.
didn't miss too much!
that’s the good news. unless you dig turnovers and airballed three’s!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
totally agree
i’ve always thought that every game should begin this season with matt getting to the basket. either on a post up or back cut. get him going early, he’s hard to stop
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Lots of teaching for Few to do at halftime.
The nice thing about an OVER aggressive defense like cincy’s is that if you can stay controlled and make the right passes, it crumbles like a good piece of cornbread.
So far we haven’t made the right passes.
Agreed
The problem I saw in the double teams was the players on the floor for the Zags was a bad combo. Trapping “D’s” need to be passed on quickly. That usually comes from good ballhandlers playing together for awile. It appears to me they’re just no sure how to get open when Matt or Steven get trapped.
I wish they would go with the quickness here
In the 10 minutes I watched, Matt was horrible. E has no intensity. Rob is trying to hard. Meech looked well and Manny did well. In fact, Grant didn’t hurt us. What about GJ, how’d he do?
Hit a nice 3
Got beat on D a time or two though
Meech’s D has been stellar. Him and Gray are the two who “brought it” so far.
i want more from meech
cincy is giving him the drive every time down the court and giving him no respect.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Nice shot Elias
That shot will be there all 2nd half if you make it.
meech looks so confident
drawin fouls like crazy on these guys.
keep it going!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Smart Meech!
Counter their aggressiveness by being aggressive.
GO TO THE MONITORS!
Mon-i-tors! Mon-i-tors! Mon-i-tors!
what a shit foul on meech
got him around the neck!
don’t sink to this shit level, gonzaga
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
i believe two
i would assume he’d be out if he had three. not totally sure though.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Yea
Fair though, gotta give it to both of em
by coltinjespersen on Nov 25, 2009 8:18 PM PST reply actions
Cashmere Wright has some issues
what a headcase
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Refs buckling down to try to reel this game in
Works to our advantage
I disagree
They keep calling fouls like this were done, sacre and harris will be on the bench in 2 mins
by coltinjespersen on Nov 25, 2009 8:20 PM PST reply actions
he struggles against tough, athletic teams
see: Memphis
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
5 point bearcat lead...15 left to play
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Lead crawling up
10 pts is more like 15 in a game like this
Yea, its games like this you want Matt and Gray to step up
Become the team leaders
by spokanecougar on Nov 25, 2009 8:27 PM PST up reply actions
Argh.
This is a very bad performance by the Zags. Really look out of sync. No leadership. Bouldin and Gray are non factors.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Would like to see Bol here
Cant say exactly why.
instant offense
i agree. we need to establish some type of bench scorer for these situations. our biggest flaw right now.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
cincy is trying to keep gonzaga in the game
terrible shot selection
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
I couldn't be a Cincy fan
I would like to know how many Cincy players have been or will end up in prison
I actually like the way Cincy is playing
they are literally knocking us on our asses and taking risks on defense. They are playing with attitude and are proving they belong even though they are also tired. Only one team really came to play tonight and that has been evident thus far.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
I just couldn't cheer for that
Plus their coach looks like the wimpy actor from the apatow films
THERE WE GO!
Crowd really wants to be in this game.
one vet guard with some contribution...waiting matthew
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Stanford should have just beaten Kentucky
but choked away the game late. Now heading into overtime. Stanford could have iced it with two late free throws but missed both. Lame
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
blah rob
your night has been extremely forgettable
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH!
who thought Cincy was going to take Meech out right there?
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
gates makes 1-2...three point game
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Zags pressing on O
Saw some daylight and went a little crazy
great back to back moment for veterans leaders
matt takes a pull up three early in the possession and steven gray lobs it to…will foster.
stunning.
keeep it up meech!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
kong in

The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!

The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!

big three!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
cashmere wright is my mortal enemy
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Kentucky wins
i hate you, john calipari
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
miscommunication with meech and matt
that shouldn’t happen out of a timeout
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
step up the D!
challenge every shot
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
we need all the help we can get!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
can mark few draw up a successful late game play?
that’s the question
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
THERE'S THE PASS
BEEN THERE ALL GAME! NICE SHOT ROB!
anyone see stephenson?
some of these cincy kids are bananas in the head! god bless mick cronin
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
good no call in the final seconds
there was definitely some contact, but you can’t call that
hard to call it there
i wonder if any refs have ever laughed at Cronin. He looks funny when he yells.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
odds there is a brawl at the end of this game?
even money
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Meech is a smart player
Only #3 with the D he’s been playing this game? Smart.
smart shots elias.
i know you’re open but we don’t need that
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
you gotta be on fire to throw up a heat check
it’s the rules
YAY!
steven! what a dish and flush by Rob!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
can't lose rob or elias
don’t want foster or KO to be a part of this ending. if they do foul out, i’d go small with kong or someone else that can make shots
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
man
why put the ball in matt’s hands there? let steven create.
thank the lord for elias
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
slow down elias!
kinda wish steven would have pulled the trigger
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
FTs are gonna be huge here
Who do we want to get the inbound?
Ok. I'll take that.
Need a good in bounds play here coach.
well...damn
free throw time zags. be smart with this inbounds!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat are you doing rob
give it back to matt!!!
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Matt messed that up
Should have never ran to the ball, he brought the double with him
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I’m sure we’re all very thankful.
