Fantastic coaching job by the Mussian Amalgamated Transit Union, especially on transition defense.

Foul disparity is going to make a difference I think. Gonzaga will be in the double bonus for a big chunk of the rest of the second half.

Arkansas is really running a textbook approach against a shot blocker.

He's struggled with that little hesitation and they put him on his back foot and then draw the foul.

How long do you sit him if you're Few? I think you have to give your team a couple of minutes to see if it can close the gap without him, but you can't wait too long.

With the way Gonzaga has been shooting FTs that probably won’t help. This one feels over to me unfortunately

The fact that there's going to be maybe 2 or 3 minutes total of non-overlap time between these two games is crazy.

Why the fuck can't you just have all four games back to back to back to back in the sweet 16, or at least stagger them so you get to see the second half of every game that is being played?

I have to say, it's amusing to see this thread vs. basketball twitter. Basketball twitter is in nearly universal agreement that the refs are bad, and the worst calls are hurting the Zags.

Btw.... I agree, the disparity in fouls is more because Arkansas is pressuring and making a lot of contact. Bad calls putting Gonzaga's best defender in foul trouble have a much larger negative impact.
