Anyone watch the game against Mich St today? What a game! 3OT! Adam Morrison this year is awesome, he is way more clutch that Turiaf was. Already 2 wins over top 20 schools.

What a tournament this Maui Invitational is as well. #8,#3,#12,#9,#20 teams.

How freaking good is Morrison? This guy is gonna go top 10 this year. What a start to the year for the Zags! Looks like we've got UCONN in the finals. This team really has the talent to do something this year, with Batista Ravio Morrison Cespides Mallon all back.

Go Zags

Turiaf's actually still on the bench with the guys this year. With the heart problem he had, he's unable to play for the Lakers. Must be quite the motivation for the guys to have Rony one of the most liked Zags of all time on there.

Turiaf seemed like a great guy, and was awesome in conference games. But man, he was such an example of a guy who tried way too hard in the big games. He was really fighting the ball in their NCAA tourney games and other big games. Morrison is so composed, and is a much better guy to count on in the big games.

Hopefully Turiaf recovers and goes on to a good pro career, he does seem very likeable.

I agree Turiaf defintley struggled in the big games, but he was definitley one of the most liked guys. I got to personally meet him, and he's just an all around nice guy.

Morrison is just a gamer. Like he leaves it all on the floor and is a force out there. He's got a future...

GO ZAGS TONIGHT!!

The good thing for Gonzaga fans is that Mark Few has been turning down coaching jobs left and right to stay in Spokane.

They might be a final four team this year. The UCONN game was fun to watch.

Morrison, Ravio and Batista are a solid top 3 and I expect good things from the Zags this year. They'll win the WCC again and be a top ranked team going into March Madness. It's now a question of whether they can strive without the underdog title.

Hmmm, kind of sound like the Flames, eh?
