"Baron" Rupp, "Ice Cream" as an easy betting victory, 1948 presidential election, 2021 NCAA Basketball Tournament, Baylor, CBS got a great second game after a terrible first game, Elgin Baylor, Gonzaga, harry truman, Jalen Rose, Jalen Suggs, jim nantz, Jim Nantz and Houston, Jim Nantz as Mr. Hedge Fund, Mitch Moss, Pauly Howard, PBS, Will be Gonzaga vs Baylor
Gonzaga (-4 half) vs Baylor, Each seeks first Crown. Tied Suggs “Bank” Lifted 15 Point Fave, Gonzaga. Great Game? Yes. Greatest ? Not close Yet The Hype Always For The Latest!!
Jalen (beware of Jalens, “loser,” albeit a well paid one such as Rose, in title tilts, Rose and Michgan were (0-2) Suggs’ bank shot “3” TIED, lifted still undefeated, Gonzaga (93-90) vs 15 point “dog” U.C.L.A. and into the title tilt, where they are a 4 plus point(s) favorite vs Baylor.
Baylor eased to victory vs “doing the game” Nantz and Houston.
I ought to have known after a team and network loss vs “Mr. Hedge Fund,” he and the network would get a classic second semi and unfortunately a) they did and b) as always, I could not “pull the trigger” (it is one thing to despise guns but seemingly I hate to win. This was as Pauly Howard/Mitch Moss would say “ice cream.”
Suggs turned me off with his celebration, of what was a lucky shot. It did not clinch the title.
I have money on Gonzaga and sans income will have to root for them. However, it would be nice in this year “never a title” Elgin died, Baylor and not Gonzaga, would get their first crown.
Notes: Both teams, by the way, each a very good college team, but yesterday’s “escape” vs a not so good, but courageous U.C.L. A. team, proved Gonzaga is not a great team, are in their second title tilt.
In same calendar 1948, (Mr. Truman went “up in my book” as I was reminded of his brave pro civil rights stance watching a fine PBS documentary, “The Blinding of Isaac Woodard” and of course he was a big upset winner, in that year’s election) Kentucky won the first of its 8 titles, the first 4 under “Baron” Rupp, a segregationist, vs Baylor.
Four years ago, slight favorite, North Carolina took Gonzaga in the title game.
