Gonzaga… .oof

[Digger-Cat]

Lost at home to Santa Clara, get this, 103-99. They let Santa Clara come into their gym and drop 103.
What the heck is going on with Gonzaga? They have way too much talent for this.

They're struggling right now and UCONN lost at home by Creighton. Auburn got lucky against Georgia, Tennessee lost to Vanderbilt, and Kentucky could have beaten Alabama.

All those other losses are not a surprise and some of them were SEC road games and Auburn is missing their best player.

Let me repeat what I said… SANTA CLARA beat Gonzaga at Gonzaga and put up 103 points. Santa Clara… .103 points.

This. Auburn kicked ass this week without Broome and not sure how anyone can debate otherwise.

Gonzaga with a dog crap home loss. 100%.

 

[ukfan117]

That's a bad loss, especially the score.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Yeah, I mean, there's a path where Gonzaga, after opening the season with a 38 point win over Baylor, misses the tournament.

They have wins over Baylor, SDSU and Arizona State… that's it. They just lost to Oregon state snd Santa Clara. Ouch.

They will get hot and win the conference tourney. They have too much talent to not do well in that league.

Gonzaga’s defense is as bad as ours.

 

[HenryMuto]

That does not help our win vs them

I'm not going to argue they're the Lakers, but Santa Clara is a far way from unc Wilmington. Santa Clara is a quad 1 win on the road. Top 75 in the net. Not good for Gonzaga, but not crippling.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

They will be fine they are built for March, wait where have I heard that before?

 

[Thecycle27]

Auburn is the best team in the country.

They may have to win the conference tournament if they keep losing to the Santa Clara's of that league.

SC scored 103 on them, we gave up 102 to one of the best offenses in the country, surely their defense is far worse.

No, I'm not buying that. Santa Clara is 13-7 against a very weak schedule. Best wins are TCU and Washington.

Again, they put up 103 @ Gonzaga. I'll remind you, Gonzaga is a ranked team and they are ahead of us in most metrics, including the NET, but after this loss, they're going to tumble.

If Gonzaga was 13-7 and unranked, not a big deal, but that team has way too much talent to lose to Santa Clara like that.

It’s a little premature to write them off from even making the tournament, but they’ve definitely struggled more than expected since we played them. As fun as that game was at the time, that’s not really looking like a signature win on our resume anymore. Fortunately, we’ve kept playing pretty well and have gained wins over Florida, A&M, and Mississippi State that are all much better on the resume currently.

I think we broke them lol

 

[Digger-Cat]

I think we broke them lol

I think you are spot on with that.

But seriously, they were easily better at the beginning of the season than they are now.

 

[shaudyshaud]

I don’t think they will miss the tournament but it’s crazy that we are even having this discussion considering how many key players they have that returned .

Maybe Few is following Cals career path ?

 

[jedwar]

Goodman thinks this could be it for Few.

Gonzaga guard play is killing them. Neimhart is having a poor year shooting. Hickman is too slow and a defensive liability. They don't have the 2 or 3 knockdown shooters they usually have

103-99 doesn’t seem like lack of shooters is the problem

I agree. I will be shocked if it keeps up.
