Texas vs Gonzaga 3/29/24 Sweet Sixteen

[Run Pincher]

If all you guys have to complain about is the losing team not acknowledging your superiority, things are really pretty good in Longhorn land. Consider yourself lucky.
Just make sure you hold your team accountable to the same standard.

Really, in the case of Gonzaga, this is the last game, all of the 5 starters will ever play together. I really think, Texas (or any other opponent that would have ended their season) was the last thing on their minds during the press conference.

For those that mentioned coaching issues at Gonzaga, I (not most GU fans) agree that many of the Zags issues in tournament play (both conference and NCAA) are coaching related. Gonzaga has a fabulous record in WCC play winning the conference about 80% of the time, but the win the conference tournament only 50% (or less of the time) and her record in the NCAA tournament is not great. IMO Fortier is stubborn, rarely changes her starting line-up, has been slow to make in-game changes and quite frankly can be offensively challenged.

Run Pincher, get over yourself.

"these small schools have it their mind Texas is over-rated and they can win with brainpower and hustle."

I can assure you that outside of Texas, Texas athletics is never even thought about until you are the next game. Jeez, you sound like the UK, UNC or Kansas member boards (or the BYU fans in person), that your athletic programs are some sort of a gift from on high. Gonzaga was lucky enough to be the first team outside of the P5 conferences and UConn to host the first two rounds of the tournament since the change in tournament format. Where Texas was ranked meant absolutely nothing the Gonzaga or the Zag fans. Disparaging the losing team simply makes you look smaller and less significant.

Your team played a great game yesterday, congratulations. Gonzaga did not play even close to their capability, some or most of which was due to the Texas defense. Wish we could have provided a better game.

Let's hope we get a chance at some time in the future to redeem ourselves.

BS. Texas is the most hated school in college sports. Look it up. Another whinny jealous wannabe loser. Get Lost!!

It’s bad enough we have to deal with a horn fan from the Washington area, now we have to deal with a Gonzaga fan too?

“Hold your team to the same standard” Zag Dad? Watch the presser friend… first words out of our coach’s mouth this game and every game is to compliment the opponent’s effort win or lose. And our players frequently compliment the play of opponents.

You accuse us of being full of ourselves and yet here you are on our fan board when you could have been anywhere else.

Ya team got spanked. Ya team crapped their pants. It happens. Tomorrow it could be us. Move on.

And for the record, we sincerely hope Hollingsworth is ok.

This one is a winner!!

We need to beware of the backdoor cut. Coach Moore mentioned it in his presser and that is always one of our greatest vulnerabilities. That is how Stanford took us down in our last Elite Eight game with them (or maybe it was Sweet Sixteen, can't remember which, was back under Karen.).

Yes, we can be a bit self-absorbed ...we're fans, a word derived from fanatic.

But if Texas is so irrelevant, why is it that ... at just about every college sporting event in the country, Texas involved or not, there will be someone flashing the horns down hand sign? We live in their heads.

If anyone still cares, first words from Vic in post-game presser were to congratulate NC State

It would be a bigger lead if the women soccer NCAA committee didn’t pit Texas against all world FSU and gave Stanford an easier road to the final 4.
