gonzaga begins conference play soon. pray for the wcc
Gonzaga Zags are super talented loaded. Looking like a National championship title contender! They are a Mighty Mouse power house elite team.! Go Zags!
Pray? I think ppl have more to worry about bruh..
@@OnPoint88 it's a joke bruh.
@@OnPoint88 go touch some grass
Hey guys need someone to be with kindly DM pv
Gonzaga could of scored 120 but they pulled the starters with 5-6 minutes left. Go zags. Mark few deserves a championship.
Yes he does
Hey Kyle! Let talk
Who cares what they could've scored? Customary for the starters to get pulled in blowout games. So yeah, they were never going to reach 120 points or more.
Also Leonard Hamilton deserves his day in the sun
No doubt! One of the best coaches in the nation.
Zags have NBA talent this year in Suggs, Timme has turned into the second best big in the country (Garza is the best), Kispert looks like an NBA player,and I’m a big fan of Ayayi who could play in the NBA as well
Ayayi as a gaurd had 18 rebounds against wvu he’s the truth but yeah timmie kispert Suggs and with Watson and ballo developing this zags team is nasty this year
So you think they have 4 NBA players? No way! Great players make average players look better
@@ti84satact12 clearly you haven’t seen this Gonzaga team play enough
Center Hunter Dickinson from Michigan may be top 3 center in college.
@@danoneall4013 all those Michigan centers are so physical and they know how to assert themselves. Might be the guy to take on Luka Garza
Kispert sets his feet so well. Best shooter in the country
Yah people ain't usually out there hitting 9 threes in a game. That kid has come so far from just watching the final four team from the bench!
@@420Effect For sure. You can tell he’s put in the work.
I would draft him in the first round easy. Perfect type for the league and form is as beautiful as Ray Allen, Curry and Melo.
@@JhalinskyMAn he can’t play D
Mick Funny Wrong. I can tell you never watch Gonzaga games with that statement. Kispert is a very solid piece of a top 15 Defense. His lateral quickness has improved every year. He is great at getting vertical and using his strength to force difficult shots over his completely straight arms. He also is a very good athlete (average NBA athlete vertically) who can get up quickly off of two feet to contest. Never going to wow with blocks or steals due to his lack of +wingspan, but he will top out as an ok positional defender in the NBA with the strength to guard most 4s at 6’7. He will not be a negative on defense in the league, so with his shooting/finishing/cutting he will he a very good overall player.
Gonzaga is just 2 steps ahead of the next best teams in college basketball and no crowds will only make them better
Not sure because we didn't get to see the Baylor game - let's see how Baylor plays against Kansas and West Virginia compared to Gonzaga's wins.
@Joshua Burhenn true but watching it gives us insights to how they might match up especially in a grind it out game against West Virginia
@@snowflakepillow8697 Baylor just lost
I'm at Duke fan but,do believe Gonzaga will be the next NCAA champions.. it's been a long time coming and they are good!!
🙏🙏🙏
@J Lawson You mean like they destroyed Clemson? You mean like they destroyed unranked UCF? You mean like they destroyed unranked Georgia Tech? Oh wait they lost those. Gonzaga just won their last game by 39 points, they score an average of over 90 points every game, Florida State would be no different then every other team they've played this season. Only team that has a solid shot of beating Gonzaga is Baylor and you know it.
Anyone else think that was Julian Newman for a sec?😂😂
The different is that Julian won’t even make it to play college basketball 😂
well, everyone here is taller than 3 inches.
Hahah kihei clark hahaa
I thought it was for a second lol
I definitely thought that. Julian wishes that was him lol.
Bring spokane the championship boys
The insane part of this game is that even if you beat Virginia, you almost ALWAYS have to do it playing at their pace. How Gonzaga put that many points on them is beyond me. I don't care how many newcomers they have.
I don't know how much this has to do with it but Coach Few has had a lot of opportunity to play Bennet during his days at Washington State.
Kispert's jumper is wet! 💦
Sounds like you are too
His jumper is great, but he's always had that. The key now is that he's got a great mid range game and can finish around the hoop with either hand. He is more athletic that he looks. He has also improved defensively.
I've watched zags for 25 years and this is their most athletic team in backcourt with nembard getting the waiver. i follow the WCC a little also and their conference has improved top to bottom. My criticism of this years team would be their basic defense principles. I get they don't have a rim protector so they don't have a way to alter every drive to the basket. However, so many possessions on D suggs gambles to much and cook should play off guards a little and allow more jump shots in side the arc. You can live with more 3's off the dribble not the wide open ones they allowing off dribble penetration. Sure they get alot of steals b/c of athleticism and gambling in passing lanes , but it is putting timme and kispert at risk off picking up more fouls on help D and those 2 need to be on the floor. Of course when your an offensive guggernaut like they are alot of what i talked about gets overlooked. Cory won't hit 9 3's every night! Great job though in this game of limiting turnovers unlike the Iowa game where they could have beaten them by 25 instead 11 if they didn't have 18 turnovers against a weaker defensive team than this UVA team.
"D suggs gambles to much" hmm that might be true, not sure
"cook should play off guards a little and allow more jump shots in side the arc" that's a good idea
nice analysis
a lot of work to do on the part of virginia.
They have good pieces they just need to put it together
UVA was overmatched. But this is good for the squad. They might just understand they have more to learn, can play a lot better
and need to be ready/more prepared for "big games" like this. Learning experienced for them all and this game might help them down the stretch. Or maybe they are more than a year away?
They've only got a year for most of the starters on the squad. Huff Clark and the transfers are all gone after this year
@@williammays6034 Clark is a Jr and he is not ready for the NBA. Huff is a senior so you're correct about him.
Murphy is only a Jr. Woldetensae is a senior and of course Hauser is a senior. The rest of them can return for another year.
All they do is play torture defense & run the clock ⏰ out. They are easy to exploit & Gonzaga just showed it. They are a disgrace to basketball, it’s just so painful to watch
They can go all the way undefeated
Last time Gonzaga tried that, they were 29-0 and lost Senior Night to BYU in 2017... and then they lost as #1 to BYU again since then. Which means BYU has 2 wins against #1 Gonzaga while UVa moved on to 1-32 against #1 teams after this game.
@@snowflakepillow8697 Wow you’re right, that means BYU will win the tournament this year!!!
The Gonzaga bulldogs will cook in March
@J Lawson Pshaw - Gonzaga was up 33 on UVa and won by 23, FSU was only up 25 and won by 21. Awesome win, tho.
timme is like aaron rodgers, you look at him and think he's some whimpy looking white guy. but then he plays and that is a BAD man
Timme is listed as 6'10" and 235 pounds. I wouldn't call that wimpy. But I agree that he doesn't seem super athletic the way Jalen Suggs looks. And Timme's also rocking some facial hair like Rogers.
@@triathlontimmy he's right. he's way more athletic than he looks
Zags are so good
ESPN sucks, Gonzaga is lit. 🔥🏀👊🏻
They goin undefeated
BYU is good this year and has been a huge thorn in our side the last few years, even the year we went to the national championship game, as well as the season that we were able to beat Duke with Zion, but for some reason not the Mormons. I have a feeling this year we are gonna crush em' on their home court and get revenge.
@@420Effect think it’ll be cool if they went undefeated tho
Well I see that Suggs ain’t the only reason why there number one
You wouldn't believe what Joel Ayali looked like last year. He looked like a kid that was headed for a Big Sky or MEAC school. Their ability to develop players is unreal. Center Kelly Olynyk went from being a huge disappointment to a lottery pick. The development of Brandon Clarke (who had only one D-1 scholarship coming out of HS) and Rui Hachimura speaks volumes. As a frosh, Kispert could only hit jumpers. He was terrible on defense, had zero mid range game, and lacked toughness around the rim. It has all changed as a senior. He's on the way to being a Wooden Award finalist, although I expect Garza to sweep everything. The last thing that opponents want to see is Few starting to land one and done kids. Suggs is not just a lucky card. Gonzaga is considered the leader for the #1 player in the 2021 class in Chet Holmgren (Suggs' former HS teammate) and as well as top 10 combo guard Hunter Sallis from Omaha. But I do not expect GU to ever become a one and done factory. For one, they aren't a blue blood, and secondly, Few values experience too much. These top shelf recruits will be final fits.
Alright boyys that's how ya do it......see ya lata
Wally Szczerbiak lives, and his name is Corey Kispert.
Hey, at least Virginia is the defending national champion!
But we all know what Virginia will go down in history for ;p
@@420Effect great story though. Being beaten by a 16 seed to Champs to ranked 16 getting throttled twice in weeks by WCC teams.
Go zags
Go Jayhawks
@@capp2much120 Been there, beat them...
Sic em bears
@@buckfuttler2877 it was the first game of the season 🤣🤣 I guarantee y’all wont beat us again
@@capp2much120 Psh.
Gonzaga is scary good...Go Duke!!
Is Aaron Cook Jr. related to Quinn Cook at all? They look similar.
18th comment zaga staying ranked
This must be a tough video for any UVA fans watching lmao
It's all good. Zags are great no doubt. UVA forever!
These 2 teams will meet again before this season ends.
Those Gonzaga bois are just scary this year 🤦🏾♂️
I’m a Gonzaga hater and I always say Gonzaga is overrated, but this is the best college basketball team I have ever seen
bout time you jumped on the bandwagon
@@beauxshwa4030 bandwagon? What do you mean? I’m still hoping they lose and rooting against them every game
@@matthewthemilkbender8095 the fact you think they're now good is sign of a bandwagon bumper. def better than w/e team you root for quite some time
Haha they are never and have never been overrated. They are exactly as advertised. Mark Few coaches his teams so well, no matter who the personnel. The Zags are the only team in the country to be this consistent in the NCAA tournament the last 5 years
Sweet 16
Elite 8
National Championship
Elite 8
Sweet 16
Oh and making the tournament the last consecutive 21 years. That is anything BUT overrated, catch my drift bro!
@@beauxshwa4030 you should relook the term bandwagon up because that’s not what it means
The 5 thumbs down are just crybabies & east coast Zags haters go Zags!!!!!!! Bring on Baylor
Lito at al
20-5 BYU gave them a ride of their life
the bulldogs don't even bother with the 3 point line. they shoot from way out there.
I think I've stumbled into a snuff film by mistake.
For a second I thought the thumbnail was Julian Newman😂
Didn’t realize Julian Newman played for Virginia
Go Zags
A new rivalry
Sorry virginia was the last national champion?
Almost forgot
Yes they were
Yes..remember they were the #1 overall seed in like 2018 I believe and lost to #16 umbc...then the next year they won it all. Crazy turn around. The year after there was no tourney.
Just clicked to see if anyone thought it was Newman...
Can Gonzaga win the 2021 Championship? Probably.
Mid jet on the court lol
Kispert range od 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
He also now has a mid range game and can finish with either hand near the rim, which is why he's gonna be a mid-1st rounder. That is why UVA was leaving him so wide open. They saw him on the tape and what he can do to punish teams who taken away his 3 pt. shot. I felt sorry for Tony Bennett. UVA along with Notre Dame was one of the 3 finalists for Kispert.
Me hoping there isn’t any bandwagon zags fans in the comments
Me hopes that fans understand that Gonzaga has made 5 straight sweet 16's or better and would've made 6 straight if the NCAA tourney had been played last season. GU was destined to be the 2nd number one overall seed, and they would've played their first 2 games in the city owned Spokane Arena, off campus. Only two teams have gone to 5 straight sweet 16's or better in the expanded bracket era. That is definitive proof that they do not choke in the NCAA tourney. They have also made the sweet 16 in years when they were not a number one. I really feel that people hate the team because they don't like non-BCS teams and the fact that ESPN has got to promote a west coast team that actually achieves something.
Cong TV ikaw bayun Haha sa thumbnail Haha
