YOU SEE THE DOUBLE TEAM ON THE POST RIGHT THERE, NEMBHARD WIDE OPEN FOR THREE ON THE WEAK SIDE. SO FAR THE 'ZAGS HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB OF RECOGNIZING THE DOUBLES COMING. >> Brad: TJ RIDJ RICHARDS, THE MAN IN OFF THE BENCH FOR THE COWBOYS. THEY WANTED TO PRESS. THAT DID THEM NO GOOD.

NEMBHARD, THE KICK OUT. HICKMAN, HEAT CHECK. NOPE, NOT THAT TIME. COLLUM, HIS HAND ON THE REBOUND AND WAS FOULED BY GREGG. >> Brendan: EVEN THOUGH THAT SHOT DIDN'T GO IN, I STILL LOVE THE QUALITY OF SHOT THE 'ZAGS ARE GETTING RIGHT NOW. EVERY TIME THEY COME DOWN THE COURT, WHETHER THE SHOT IS MADE OR MISSED, YOU LOOK AT THE SHOT QUALITY AND SAY THAT'S THE TYPE OF SHOTS I WANT MY TEAM TO TAKE. McNEESE HAS LOOKED A LITTLE DISJOINTED ON THE OFFENSIVE END. >> Brad: GARCIA WORKING AGAINST GREGG. HE'S GOING TO FADE AWAY. GOT IT TO DROP! GREGG, IMMEDIATE FOUL TROUBLE. >> Brendan: GREGG PICKING UP HIS SECOND. >> Brad: GARCIA GOING TO WORK. BULLDOGS, THOUGH, LOST TO BAYLOR IN THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. THIS GUY DOESN'T LOSE MANY.

I BEG YOUR PARDON. >> Brendan: BIG-TIME ATHLETE. >> Brad: TRYING TO CAP OFF THE THREE-POINT PLAY. >> Brendan: THIS TEAM IS TENACIOUS ON THE OFFENSIVE GLASS, GENERATING SECOND-CHANCE OPPORTUNITIES ON 30% OF THEIR SHOTS. >> Brad: DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR, PUT SOME OFFENSE TOGETHER THERE TO BRING THE LEAD BACK DOWN TO JUST FOUR. WATSON'S GOT A MISMATCH ON THE PL BASELINE. GOT IT INTO IKE. THAT'S GOING TO BE GOALTENDING. >> Brendan: I'LL LIVE WITH THAT TYPE OF MISTAKE, BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT HUSTLE. THIS TEAM IS ALL ABOUT HUSTLE, ENERGY, EFFORT, TENACITY, TURNOVERS. THESE TYPE OF PLAYS RIGHT THERE. >> Brad: CAN'T TOUCH IT ONCE IT HITS THE GLASS. WELLS, TURNAROUND JUMPER. GOT IT. >> Brendan: BOY, THAT IS TOUGH RIGHT THERE. GOT RIGHT TO HIS AREA AND JUST FADED AWAY. >> Brad: NEMBHARD RIGHT BACK TO IKE. LOST THE HANDLE, BUT THEY KEEP POSSESSION. HICKMAN ON A RUNNER. AND REBOUND OFF TO THE COWBOYS. WE'RE GOING TO GET STROMER. LOST THE HANDLE, PICKED UP ON THE BASELINE, THOUGH, BY SHUMATE. FOUR TO SHOOT. WELLS, BASELINE JUMPER. NO, BUT IT BEAT THE CLOCK AND THEY GOT ANOTHER REBOUND. AND A FOUL ON GONZAGA. COMPLETE COVERAGE OF THE NCAA WOMEN'S TOURNAMENT ON NCAA.COM. >> Brendan: YOU CAN SEE HOW TENACIOUS McNEESE IS ON THE GLASS. THEY CHASE EVERYTHING. IF IT GOES UP, THEY FEEL LIKE IT'S THEIR BALL. >> Brad: DANGEROUS INBOUND PASS. WATSON STOLE IT. AND THE PUSH TO STROMER. NICE JOB BY WATSON ON ENDS. >> Brendan: EXCELLENT STEAL AND HEADS UP ON THE FAST BREAK TO MAKE THE NICE PASS. >> Brad: GARCIA GOING TO WORK IN THE PAINT. CLANGS IT OFF THE BACK OF THE IRON.

GREAT ACTIVE HANDS ON DEFENSE, EYES UP, CATCHES STROMER RIGHT THERE FOR THE NICE FINISH ON THE TRANSITION FAST BREAK. HERE THE CARDINAL SIN, FOULING THE GUY SHOOTING THE JUMP SHOT. JUST SIMPLY CAN'T DO IT. >> Brad: AND A VERY GOOD FREE THROW SHOOTER, DUSTY STROMER, THE FRESHMAN OUT OF SHERMAN OAKS, CALIFORNIA. NOT THAT TIME. >> Brendan: I BLAME THAT MISS ON YOU. >> Brad: I KNOW. >> Brendan: ANNOUNCER'S JINX ALL THE WAY. >> Brad: KNOCKS DOWN THE SECOND. ONE MORE TO COME. BOTH TEAMS GO BACK TO THEIR BENCH. BRADEN HUFF CHECKS IN FOR GONZAGA TO GIVE IKE A BRIEFER. >> Brendan: HUFF IS A KID THEY THINK IS GOING TO BE A PLAYER IN MAYBE A YEAR OR TWO. >> Brad: STROMER GOT TWO OUT OF THREE. BIGGEST LEAD SO FAR FOR THE 'ZAGS, UP EIGHT. HICKMAN WILL SIT FOR A MOMENT. GONZAGA 4 OUT OF 5 OUTSIDE THE ARC. WELLS FEEDS IT INSIDE. AND A WALK. >> Brendan: CATCHES IT INSIDE, NICE DROP STEP, BUT THEN IT WAS JUST TOO MANY AFTER THAT. HUFF DID A GOOD JOB OF HOLDING HIS GROUND, FORCING THE EXTRA STEP. >> Brad: IT WAS A LOUISIANA TWO STEP. >> Brendan: THE PURSUIT, THEY'RE NOT CONCEDING ANYTHING AT THE RIM RIGHT NOW. IF YOU GO UP, THEY'RE CHALLENGING. YOU MIGHT MAKE A SHOT, BUT THEY'RE GOING TO BEAT Y >> Brad: STROMER. NO FOUL. >> Brendan: THAT TIME WHEN THE BALL WENT TO THE POST, McNEESE DIDN'T DOUBLE. >> Brad: WELLS JUST PULLED UP FROM DEEP AND MISSED IT. WATSON TRYING TO GET IT TO THE MIDDLE.

IF YOU'RE GOING TO PULL THE UPSET, YOU GOT TO MAKE THOSE SHOTS. >> Brad: AND ANOTHER TURNOVER, BACK-TO-BACK TURNOVERS BY THE BULLDOGS. >> Brendan: THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THE BULLDOGS NORMALLY DO. >> Brad: SAUNDERS WILL TRY A LITTLE FINGER ROLL, AND GOT IT. AND A FOUL ON HUFF. ATTACK MODE. >> Dana: THANKS, MARK. >> Brad: THE COWBOYS HAVE CONVERTED TWO THREE-POINT PLAYS, THE OLD-FASHIONED KIND, FIELD GOAL AND FREE THROW. MIKE SAUNDERS HAS A CHANCE TO DO IT AGAIN. AND DOES. >> Brendan: HE JUMPS RIGHT BACK INTO THAT PRESSURE, FULL COURT. THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BACK DOWN AT ALL. THAT'S THEIR CALLING CARD, FORCING TURNOVERS ON NEARLY 25% OF THEIR POSSESSIONS. >> Brad: AND LITTLE REACH-IN. JAVOHN GARCIA PICKS UP HIS FIRST THE MOVIE WE'RE WATCHING IS GONZAGA, THE FIVE SEED, AGAINST McNEESE, THE 12 SEED HERE IN ROUND ONE OF THE MIDWEST REGION. AND THERE'S A CHEAP FOUL FROM BEHIND ON SAUNDERS. >> Brendan: SAUNDERS RIGHT THERE ALMOST HAD THE STEAL. HUFF NEVER SAW HIM. >> Brad: WILL WADE HAS BROUGHT TOGETHER A BUNCH OF GUYS FROM DIFFERENT PARTS AND DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, TRANSFER PORTAL IN. THEY DO A LOT OF THINGS TOGETHER IN THE OFF SEASON, AND THEY'VE BONDED REALLY WELL FOR A BUNCH OF GUYS WHO DIDN'T KNOW EACH OTHER ABOUT A YEAR AGO. >> Brendan: THEY WERE DOING EARLY NAVY SEAL TRAINING AS A GROUP IN THE MORNING. >> Brad: OUT ON THE BEACH. >> Brendan: I LIKE TO BOND WITH MY FRIENDS, BUT NOT DOING NAVY SEAL TRAINING. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Brendan: WATSON SCOMES UP SHORT. >> Brendan: WE CAN'T PLAY VIDEO GAMES OR SOMETHING? >> Brad: WON'T WORK. SHUMATE BRINGS IT DOWN AFTER TWO MINUTES INSIDE. A LOT OF BULLDOGS. HE THROWS A SHOULDER. >> Brendan: SHUMATE IS MORE OF A FINISHER THAN A FACILITATOR. HE'S BETTER OFF WHEN SOMEBODY MAKES THE PLAY FOR HIM AS OPPOSED TO HIM TRYING TO DO IT HIMSELF. >> Brad: IKE BACK IN FOR GONZAGA AS WE APPROACH THE MIDWAY POINT OF THE FIRST HALF. DANA. >> Dana: GUYS, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE TEAM BONDING. WILL WADE TAKES AWAY THEIR PHONE BEFORE GAMES AND AT DINNERS AS WELL, AND NOBODY KBCOMPLAINS ABT IT. >> Brendan: I HAVE A 13-YEAR-OLD. IF I TOOK AWAY HIS PHONE, IT WOULD BE MADNESS IN MY HOUSE. >> Brad: 76% OF THE TEENAGERS IN THE COUNTRY FEEL LESS STRESSED WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE THEIR PHONE. JUST PUT IT AWAY ONCE IN A WHILE. YOU'LL BE STRESS FREE. NEMBHARD, HIS SECOND THREE ON THE OTHER END. HE'S GIVEN THEM AN EIGHT-POINT LEAD. SECOND TIME THEY'VE BEEN UP BY EIGHT. RYAN NOT A HUGE THREE-POINT SHOOTER, BUT HE'S DROPPED A COUPLE ALREADY IN THE FIRST HALF. >> Brendan: ALL THE 'ZAGS' THREES HAVE BEEN QUALITY LOOKS. THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO HANDLE THIS PRESSURE. ON THE BACKSIDE, THEY'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITIES. >> Brad: THAT THREE RIMS OUT. KEPT ALIVE BY SHUMATE. >> Brendan: I TELL YOU WHAT, McNEESE IS JUST CHASING EVERYTHING DOWN. WHEN THAT SHOT GOES UP, THERE'S TWO AND THREE GUYS THERE WITH ACTIVE HANDS JUST FIGHTING TOOTH AND NAIL TO GET AN OFFENSIVE REBOUND. >> Brad: McNEESE AVERAGE BEATING THEIR OPPONENTS BY ALMOST 19 POINTS A GAME THIS YEAR, NUMBER ONE IN THE COUNTRY. WATSON MISSED, BUT IT'S TIPPED IN BY IKE. GRAHAM'S GOT SIX. SAUNDERS LOOKING FOR A PICK. >> Brad: FIVE TO SHOOT. THAT'S NOT THE SHOT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR. >> Brendan: YEAH. A LOT OF PICKS ON THAT PLAY, BUT NOT A LOT OF ROLLING. SHUMATE WAS SENDING PICKS, BUT WASN'T ROLLING. >> Brad: HICKMAN KNOCKS DOWN ANOTHER ONE, HIS THIRD THREE. WILL WADE HAS SEEN ENOUGH OF THAT. MICHIGAN STATE AND ILLINOIS ONE. ACC 2-0 INCLUDING YOUR TAR HEELS. MISSISSIPPI STATE AND SOUTH CAROLINA MADE IT AN 0 FOR 2 DAY SO FAR. THE 11 SEED IS DOING WELL. AND HERE WE HAVE WEST COAST CONFERENCE LEADING THE SOUTHLAND, 28-17. >> Brendan: DUQUESNE WITH A BIG WIN TODAY. I ASKED YOU LAST NIGHT WHO WAS GOING TO WIN BETWEEN DUQUESNE AND BYU TO HELP MY BRACKET. YOU TOLD ME TO GO WITH BYU. >> Brad: NO, I DIDN'T. THE REST OF THE TABLE DIDN'T. >> Brendan: ARE YOU SURE IT WASN'T YOU? THEY'LL TRY TO CHIP IT AWAY FROM THE FREE THROW LINE. DJ RICHARDS. >> Brendan: WE TALKED ABOUT THE THREE-POINT SHOOTING BY THE 'ZAGS. WILL WADE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF TALKING ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. YOU'VE GOT TO TIP YOUR HAT TO COACH FEW. HE UNDERSTOOD THIS TEAM IS GOING TO TRAP THE BALL. LET'S NOT GET IT RIGHT ON THE LOW BLOCK WHERE THE TRAP IS A LITTLE BIT MORE EFFECTIVE. NOW YOU CAN SEE THAT WEAK-SIDE SKIP A LITTLE BIT EASIER. IT HAS BEEN PUNISHING McNEESE IN THE FIRST HALF. >> Brad: RICHARDS GOT ONE OF TWO. CUTS INTO A TEN-POINT LEAD. JUST UNDER EIGHT TO PLAY FIRST HALF. NEMBHARD DIRECTING TRAFFIC. LOOKING FOR A SCREEN. DIDN'T GET ONE, BUT STILL GOT IT INSIDE TO IKE. IKE IS FOULED GOING UP BY SHUMATE. >> Brendan: THAT WAS DEFINITELY A FOUL. NEMBHARD DID A REALLY GOOD JOB ON THE PICK-AND-ROLL, HOLDING THAT PASS UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE TO GET IT IN THERE TO THE BIG FELLA. >> Brad: GRAHAM, REDSHIRT JUNIOR, PLAYED AT WYOMING WHERE HE WAS ALL MOUNTAIN WEST. NOW WITH GONZAGA, SEVEN POINTS HERE IN THE FIRST HALF. WATCH LIVE MEN'S GAMES ON YOUR DEVICE WITH NCAA MARCH MADNESS LIVE. DOWNLOAD NOW TO STAY UP TO DATE ON ALL THE ACTION. THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF ACTION AND A LOT MORE TO COME TONIGHT, TOMORROW AND ALL THE WAY THROUGH SUNDAY. IKE GOT THEM BOTH. >> Brendan: IKE, A VERY GOOD FREE THROW SHOOTER AT 78%. THAT'S A LUXURY. IF YOU HAVE A BIG FELLA THAT CAN KNOCK THEM DOWN, THAT'S GOING TO HELP YOU OUT. >> Brad: WERE YOU A GOOD FREE THROW SHOOTER? >> Brendan: LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THAT. >> Brad: I USED TO DO YOUR GAMES. I DON'T REMEMBER. >> Brendan: LET'S STAY POSITIVE HERE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Brad: REBOUND SMASHED DOWN BY GREGG, WHO GOT INTO SOME EARLY FOUL TROUBLE, PLAYING WITH TWO. >> Brendan: HE WAS LOOKING FOR THE DOUBLE TEAM. I THINK COACH WADE MADE AN ADJUSTMENT. GRAHAM WAS LOOKING FOR THE DOUBLE TEAM. IT WAS NOT THERE. AS A RESULT OF THAT, THAT WEAK-SIDE THREE-POINT SHOT WASN'T THERE. >> Brad: COLLUM PICKS UP HIS SECOND FOUL. >> Brendan: THAT IS THE CHESS MATCH BETWEEN THESE TWO COACHING STAFFS, THE GAME WITHIN THE GAME. >> Brad: 1-1 FOR RYAN NEMBHARD. ALL WEST COAST CONFERENCE FIRST TEAMER. I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE FOUL TROUBLE, REALLY BOTH TEAMS HAVE ISSUES, COLLUM, SHUMATE, HICKMAN AND GREGG FOR MARK FEW'S TEAM. NEMBHARD KNOCKS THEM BOTH DOWN. HE'S GOT EIGHT FOR THE GAME. THE LEAD NOW, THE LARGEST, UP TO 14. IT'S KIND OF A DANGER ZONE HERE WITH 6:40 TO GO IN THE HALF. THE COWBOYS NEED SOME OFFENSE, AND THEY NEED SOME STOPS FOR THE OFFENSE THEY DIDN'T GET. >> Brendan: IF YOU'RE McNEESE, YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS THE DANGER ZONE. WHAT A BLOCK. McNEESE HAVE TO GET SOME POINTS ON THE BOARD. >> Brad: GARCIA HITS UNDER THE RIM, A LITTLE OUT OF CONTROL. NOW HE'S GOING TO TRY TO SWIPE IT FROM BEHIND. HERE'S GREGG. RIMS OUT A THREE. COLLUM WITH THE STRONG REBOUND. >> Brendan: IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE WE'VE SEEN WELLS GET A BUCKET. HE NEEDS TO GET GOING. >> Brad: RIGHT THERE. >> Brendan: RIGHT ON CUE. HE MUST HAVE HEARD ME. >> Brad: SHAHADA HAS SIX. >> Brendan: GREAT CHANGE OF DIRECTION BY WELLS. EASY BASKET. >> Brad: WATSON TRYING TO GET IT OVER IN THE CORNER. KNOCKED OUT OF BOUNDS BY WELLS. >> Brendan: NEMBHARD THOUGHT HE HAD THE LAYUP. ACCESS DENIED. >> Brad: JAVOHN GARCIA SAYS NOT ON MY WATCH. EIGHT TO SHOOT. STROMER GETS IT OVER IN THE CORNER. GETS IT RIGHT BACK. HE'LL DRIVE THREE AT THE BUZZER AND GOT IT. BOY, TALK ABOUT USING THE CLOCK TO PERFECTION, FINDING THE OPEN MAN. >> Brendan: WHAT PATIENCE, WHAT POISE. THEN THE BALL SWITCHED SIDES OF THE COURT TWO DIFFERENT TIMES. EXCELLENT WORK BY THE 'ZAGS. WOW. >> Brad: THIS IS HOW GONZAGA WENT 14-2 SINCE MID JANUARY, MOVING THE BALL LIKE THIS, SCORING THE THREE BALL, SHOOTING 51.6% FROM THE FLOOR. >> Brendan: A LOT OF THAT COMES DOWN TO HAVING A GREAT LEADER LIKE NEMBHARD. NEMBHARD EASILY COULD HAVE FORCED UP A BAD SHOT THERE WITH THE SHOT CLOCK RUNNING DOWN. HE UNDERSTOOD IF I GET TO THE BASELINE, I COULD GET IT TO MY PARTNER OVER HERE ON THE WEAK SIDE. HE DID THAT. >> Brad: FIVE MINUTES TO GO FIRST HALF. WELLS DRAWS A DOUBLE TEAM. THAT LEAVES GARCIA OPEN FOR THREE. AND OUT OF BOUNDS TO GONZAGA. THERE'S THE RECORD I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND WHAT THEY'VE DONE SCORING-WISE. THEIR DEFENSE HAS BEEN GREAT. DANA MENTIONED THAT AT ONE POINT THEY WERE 15-5 AND PEOPLE WERE DOUBTING THEM. I HAD THEM ON FEBRUARY 10th AGAINST KENTUCKY. AS GREGG SCORES. WE'RE AT PRACTICE, AND MARK FEW IS SAYING TO RAF AND JAY WRIGHT AND I, YEAH, PEOPLE ARE DOUBTING US, BUT WE'RE NOT DOUBTING OURSELVES. WE FEEL LIKE WE JUST PUT IT TOGETHER, PLAY A LITTLE BIT LIKE WE'VE BEEN PLAYING LATELY, AND THEN MAYBE WE GET IN OUR CONFERENCE TOURNAMENT AND MAKE A LITTLE RUN. WE CAN KEEP THAT STRING OF NCAA APPEARANCES TOGETHER. THEY'RE 14-2. HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. >> Brendan: HE ALSO KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE INSERTED THIS GUY INTO THE STARTING LINE-UP, BIG GREGG MAKING A DIFFERENCE, CUTTING DOWN THE LANE AND ONE. >> Brad: GARCIA PICKS UP HIS SECOND FOUL. >> Brendan: THAT'S A STRONG FINISH BY GREGG, PLAYING THROUGH THE CONTACT. >> Brad: HE'S A GOOD SHOOTER AND HE HAS GREAT SIZE. HE'S 6'10". >> Brendan: NOT A SMALL 6'10" EITHER. >> Brad: NO. POWERFULLY PUT TOGETHER. A JUNIOR FROM OREGON. THIS TO PUT THEM UP 20. SHORT. ONLY ONE LEAD CHANGE. WELLS LETS GO FROM THREE. NOTHING BUT WHITE JERSEYS ON THE REBOUND AGAIN, INCLUDING NEMBHARD. >> Brendan: RIGHT NOW THIS HAS BEEN A TOTAL MISMATCH, ALL 'ZAGS. McNEESE LOOKS A LITTLE OVERMATCHED IN THIS GAME. >> Brad: ANOTHER THREE FOR GREGG. >> Brendan: McNEESE IS A VERY GOOD TEAM, BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THEY'VE ONLY FACED TWO TEAMS RANKED INSIDE THE TOP 100 ALL SEASON LONG. THEY HAVEN'T SEEN THIS LEVEL OF BASKETBALL. >> Brad: THEY DEFINITELY MOVED UP A WEIGHT CLASS TONIGHT. SAUNDERS HAS TO BRING IT BACK OUT. NICE DEFENSE BY STROMER. THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN ONE TOO MANY PASSES. >> Brendan: ANOTHER LAYUP RIMS OUT. HOW MANY OF THOSE HAVE WE SEEN FROM McNEESE IN THE FIRST HALF? >> Brad: FIVE. AND WATSON SLAMS IT HOME. A 24-POINT LEAD, JUST UNDER THREE MINUTES TO GO IN THE HALF. IT IS ELEMENTARY, MR. WATSON. HALF. >> Brad: ALL THE COWBOYS CAN DO IS TRY TO CUT INTO THIS LEAD. THEY'D LOVE TO GET IT TO 15. SAUNDERS IN THE CORNER, LOST THE BALL. KEPT ALIVE, THOUGH. JUMP BALL, GONZAGA WILL HAVE POSS POSSESSION. COMING UP AT THE HALF, GET ALL THE SCORES AND HIGHLIGHTS AND THE LATEST NCAA TOURNAMENT NEWS. WE'RE JUST 2:44 AWAY FROM THE HALF. NEMBHARD GOING TO TAKE HIS TIME. SEE IF THEY TRY TO GO INSIDE TO IKE, WHO HASN'T HAD A TOUCH IN A LITTLE WHILE. THEY HAVEN'T NEEDED THE INSIDE GAME. THE OUTSIDE GAME IS WORKING JUST FINE, THANK YOU. >> Brendan: THE INSIDE GAME HAS BASICALLY BEEN A DECOY FOR THE OUTSIDE GAME. >> Brad: NEMBHARD, OFF THE MARK. KEPT ALIVE BY GREGG. HIS WON'T GO. GARCIA WITH THE REBOUND. WELLS IN SOME TRAFFIC, CAN'T GET IT TO DROP. >> Brad: THERE IT IS. HE HAD HIM. >> Brendan: COACH FEW DIALLED IT UP. THEY JUST DIDN'T EXECUTE. >> Brad: HE LOOKED OVER AT IKE AND SAID MY FAULT. HE JUST TAPPED HIMSELF ON THE CHEST. >> Brad: THERE'S AN OPEN LOOK. IT GOES, FINALLY. >> Brendan: THEY'RE KNOWN FOR TURNING YOU OVER AND HITTING THREES. TONIGHT THEY HAVEN'T DONE MUCH OF EITHER. >> Brad: RICHARDS IS THEIR BEST THREE-POINT SHOOTER. THAT'S HIS FIRST. A MINUTE TO GO FIRST HALF. IKE GOT A TOUCH THERE. HE'S GOING TO TRY IT FROM IN THE PAINT AND GOT IT. >> Brendan: IKE TAKING HIS TIME DOWN THERE. MAKING SURE THERE WAS NO DOUBLE TEAMS. >> Brendan: SHAHADA WELLS MISSES. GOT HIS OWN MISS, KNOCKED IT OUT. IT WILL BE COWBOYS' BALL. >> Brendan: IKE WITH THE STRONG CATCH, MAKE SURE THERE'S NO DOUBLE, THEN GOES RIGHT TO WORK WITH THE FLOATER. EXCELLENT TOUCH. >> Brad: GONZAGA HAS WON 169 STRAIGHT GAMES WHEN LEADING BY TEN OR MORE POINTS AT THE HALFTIME. THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE WAY MORE THAN A TEN-POINT LEAD AT HALFTIME. THAT'S A LOT OF GAMES WINNING AT THE HALF BY DOUBLE DIGITS. FOUL IS ON STROMER. >> Brendan: YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO GET TO HALFTIME TO REGROUP YOUR TROOPS AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW YOU CAN KEEP THESE GUYS FOCUSED AND MAKE SURE THEY DON'T LET GO OF THE ROPE IN THE SECOND HALF. >> Brad: 1-1 FOR JAVOHN GARCIA. GREAT CROWD IN HERE, AS WE'VE HAD IN OUR FIRST TWO GAMES THIS AFTERNOON AND NOW THE FIRST ONE TONIGHT. >> Brendan: IT HAS BEEN PACKED FROM THE JUMP SINCE NOON. >> Brad: FIVE FOR GARCIA. NEMBHARD WILL BRING IT OUT. 'ZAGS TRYING TO PLAY FOR ONE SHOT HERE. SIX TO SHOOT. WHAT A PASS TO WATSON. HALF COURT HEAVE. 48-25. LOOK AT THIS DITCH. A DISH TO PASS AND A PASS TO FLUSH. DANA. >> Dana: COACH, IN THIS GAME SHOOTING 73% FROM BEYOND THE ARC, OVER 50% FROM THE FIELD, WHAT'S BEEN GOING RIGHT FOR YOU? >> WE'RE PLAYING GREAT DEFENSE. THAT'S THE KEY TO THIS THING. SECONDLY, WHEN WE TAKE GREAT CARE OF THE BALL, WE'RE GETTING GREAT SHOTS ON OUR TERMS. IT'S A DANGEROUS TEAM. THEY HAVE A LOT OF FIGHT IN THEM. KEEP TAKING CARE OF THE BALL, KEEP PLAYING GREAT D. >> Dana: THANKS, COACH. >> Brad: THAT'S THE END OF THE HALF. CORPUS CHRISTI LIKE THIS, BUT THIS TEAM WE ARE FACING IS NO CORPUS CHRISTI. >> Brad: THIS IS THE LARGEST DEFICIT OF A TEAM THAT WON 30 OR MORE GAMES TO GET TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT AT HALFTIME IN TOURNAMENT HISTORY. LET'S SEE IF THEY CAN CHIP AWAY AND FIGHT BACK INTO THIS THING. >> Brendan: OFFENSIVELY EVERYTHING HAS JUST BEEN A STRUGGLE. THE STRUGGLES CONTINUE AS THAT RIMS OUT. >> Brad: THAT'S WHAT DANA WAS JUST TALKING ABOUT. >> Brendan: McNEESE WERE SHOOTING 10% FROM THREE AND ONLY HAD ONE ASSIST. >> Brad: GONZAGA SHOOTING ALMOST 59% FROM THE FLOOR. HERE'S A STEAL BY WELLS. TRYING TO TAKE IT COAST TO COAST. HE HAD TO ADJUST IN MIDAIR BECAUSE OF THE DEFENSE, BUT TRY TO GET SOME OF THOSE TO DROP. THEY'RE 0 FOR 2. THAT ONE WAS DROP. AND BEN GREGG WHO HAD EARLY FOUL TROUBLE HAS STARTED TO FIND THE RANGE. HE'S GOING TO TRY ET AGAIN. HE AIRMAILED THAT ONE TO THE BACKSIDE. >> Brendan: ONE OF THE FEW THINGS THAT HASN'T GONE RIGHT TODAY FOR GONZAGA. >> Brad: WELLS. NEMBHARD. >> Brendan: EXCELLENT DEFENSE BY THE 'ZAGS, THOUGH. ONE RELWELLS OFF THE THREE-POIN LINE. >> Brad: NINE MADE FIELD GOALS FOR THE COWBOYS, NINE MADE THREES FOR THE 'ZAGS. THAT'LL GET YOU BEAT. >> Brendan: HANDILY. >> Brad: THERE'S A FEED INSIDE TO IKE. LEFT-HANDER. HE'LL GO TO THE FREE THROW LINE. THE FOUL'S ON COLLUM. >> Brendan: NO WASTED MOTION, RIGHT TO GREGG IN THE CORNER. >> Brad: THAT'S WHAT NEMBHARD DOES. CAME IN WITH 215 ASSISTS ON THE YEAR, FORMER BIG EAST FRESHMAN OF THE YEAR WHEN HE WAS AT CREIGHTON. AND IKE KNOCKS DOWN THE FIRST. WATCH COVERAGE OF ALL THE MEN'S GAMES ON YOUR COMPUTER, PHONE TABLET OR STREAMING DEVICE WITH FAST BREAK PRESENTED BY AT&T. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD NOW. GOT THEM BOTH. HE'S PERFECT FROM THE STRIPE, 4 FOR 4. 12 POINTS, SIX REBOUNDS FOR GRAHAM IKE. AND CONTESTED INSIDE. IT'S GOING TO BE A FOUL AND A SHOOTING FOUL AS GREGG PICKS UP HIS THIRD. >> Brendan: WELLS. C COMES OFF THE SCREEN. >> Brad: 5-5 FOR CHRISTIAN. STARTED HIS CAREER AT TULSA. >> Brendan: THINK HE CALLED BANK? >> Brad: I'M NOT SURE, BUT HE'LL TAKE IT. PUT HIS NAME IN THE PORTAL LAST YEAR. WILL WADE CAME IN AND THEY HAD A CONVERSATION. HE SAID, I THINK I LIKE THIS GUY. I THINK I'LL STAY. >> Brendan: THAT'S A TESTAMENT TO WILL WADE AND WHO HE IS AS A PERSON. >> Brad: YEP. WINNER OF THIS ONE MEETS THE WINNER OF OUR LAST GAME OF THE NIGHT. IT'S BETWEEN KANSAS AND SANFORD. THERE'S A THREE GOING FOR THE SECOND TIME FOR RICHARDS. >> Brendan: THAT'S WHAT THEY NEED. TURNOVERS AND THREE-POINT SHOTS, THAT'S HOW McNEESE GETS BACK INTO THIS. >> Brad: THEY'LL GO BACK INTO A LITTLE BIT OF PRESSURE. WATSON DOESN'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. >> Brendan: IF YOU'RE McNEESE, DON'T TRY TO GET IT ALL BACK AT ONE TIME. WHEN YOU GET TO THE TEN-MINUTE MARK, HAVE IT DOWN TO ABOUT 14. THEN FROM THERE, CUT IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT MORE. >> Brad: UNFORTUNATELY, THERE'S NO 24-POINT PLAYS. THEY GOT THE STOP AGAIN. NOW THEY GOT WELLS OUT IN FRONT. THE CROSSOVER AND THE LAY-IN. >> Brendan: I LIKE THAT ONE. MOVING THROUGH LONDON WITH THE EURO STEP. SOMEBODY BETTER STAMP HIS PASSPORT. >> Brad: WATSON FOUND A LANE. AND ONE. GARCIA PICKS UP HIS THIRD. >> Brendan: ONCE WATSON GOT A HALF STEP BY HIM,IT IT WAS ALL E WROTE. >> Brad: WATSON IS ONE OF SPOKANE'S OWN, HOME-GROWN PRODUCT FOR THE 'ZAGS. McNEESE AVERAGING 80 A GAME. THEY HAVE 31 RIGHT NOW. >> Brendan: PROBABLY NOT GOING TO REACH 80. >> Brad: DON'T THINK SO. >> Brendan: A LOT OF THAT COMES DOWN TO THE WAY THE 'ZAGS VALUE THE BASKETBALL. McNEESE HAS TO GET OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS, HIT THREES AND GET TURNOVERS. >> Brad: THEY GOT ONE THERE FROM SHUMATE. THERE'S THE TURNOVER. >> Brendan: THAT'S A POOR ANGLE TO TRY TO FEED A POST THERE FOR HICKMAN. >> Brad: COLLUM CAME UP LIMPING. I DON'T THINK HE'S GOING TO DO ANYTHING WITH THE BALL EXCEPT GET RID OF IT. HE'S HOBBLING RIGHT NOW. >> Brendan: YEAH. THEY MIGHT NEED TO GET HIM OUT. >> Brad: COULD USE A STOP IN PLAY RIGHT NOW. HE'S TRYING TO GUARD IKE TOO. HE COULDN'T TURN AROUND TO GO WITH IKE. HIS LEG'S NOT WORKING. >> Brendan: IKE TAKING ADVANTAGE. >> Brad: NOW THE OFFICIALS STOP PLAY, BECAUSE ANTAVION COLLUM HAVING TROUBLE WALKING, MUCH LESS RUNNING. THOSE SHOES. THOSE THINGS ARE NICE. >> Brendan: STEPH CURRYS. >> Brad: IKE, ANOTHER REBOUND. NEMBHARD TRYING TO FEED THE POST. THOUGHT THAT WAS KICKED BY SHUMATE.

NICE STRONG MOVE BY FELDER. >> Brendan: THAT WAS A GROWN MAN BUCKET RIGHT THERE. >> Brad: THAT ONE KICKED OUT OF BOUNDS. STILL GONZAGA BALL. ONE MORE GAME AFTER THIS. IT'S GOING TO BE KANSAS AND THE BULLDOGS OF SANFORD. A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE THEIR GAME. THEY CAN SHOOT THREES TOO. >> Brendan: OH YEAH. >> Brad: KANSAS IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE SHAORTHANDED. WE'LL DEVELOP ALL THAT AS WE GO. >> Brendan: McNEESE NOW TRANSITIONING TO A ZONE DEFENSE. THEY'RE TRYING ANYTHING TO SLOW DOWN THE EXECUTION OF THE 'ZAGS. >> Brad: THERE WAS THREE ON THE SHOT CLOCK. MISSED THE THREE. WELLS, THE PASS AHEAD. KNOCKED OUT OF THE HANDS OF FELDER. MIGHT BE A NIGHT FOR COLLUM. THEY WORKED ON THAT ANKLE, BUT THEY'RE NOT WORKING ON IT NOW. >> Brendan: THEY DIDN'T TAKE HIM TO THE BACK. THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE IF THEY MAKE A RUN AND THEY CUT THIS LEAD DOWN, HE CAN GET BACK INTO THIS GAME. >> Brad: WELLS, MID-RANGE JUMPER. REBOUND, WATSON. GOING TO BE BULLDOG BALL. BRADEN HUFF GETTING SOME WORK. >> Brendan: THEY LIKE HIM. HE'LL REALLY BE ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE IN A SEASON OR TWO AS HE GETS STRONGER. >> Brad: WATSON BACKING IN ON SHUMATE. THE HOOK SHOT.

IKE, 16 ON A PERFECT NIGHT, ALSO DOUBLE FIGURES IN REBOUNDS. >> Brendan: IKE HAS DONE A GREAT JOB OF SEALING INSIDE, KNOWING WHEN TO SCORE. HE'S RECOGNIZING THE DOUBLE TEAM HAS COME AND SKIP PASS TO THE WEAK SIDE. WE KNOW THAT'S BEEN THE CALLING CARD OF THE GONZAGA THREE-POINT ONSLAUGHT TONIGHT. IT'S BEEN AN OFFENSIVE CLINIC. >> Brad: WATSON, THE EXTRA PASS. NEMBHARD, THE THREE. KEPT ALIVE BY WATSON. DOWN LOW, EASY LAY-IN FOR HUFF, HIS FIRST BASKET. >> Brendan: EASY HAS BEEN THE THEME. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN EASY FOR THE 'Z 'ZAGS. WHEN THEY TAKE THEIR TIME AND WORK THAT BALL FROM SIDE TO SIDE, THEY GET A GOOD LOOK. McNEESE THRIVES OFF TURNOVERS. THEY JUST HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THOSE TONIGHT. >> Brad: WELLS LETS FLY ON A THREE. OFF THE MARK. WATSON HAS ANOTHER REBOUND. WATSON FOUND A LANE. LEFT HAND ON THE CROSSOVER. THAT ONE PARTIALLY BLOCKED. SAVED ON THE BASELINE BY WATSON. DOING A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. >> Brendan: YOU THINK THE 'ZAGS WEREN'T A LITTLE CHARGED UP FOR THIS GAME? YOU SEE WATSON WITH THE STEAL. >> Brad: HE LOOKS OVER AT WELLS AND SAYS YOU MIGHT AS WELL SLOW DOWN, I'M HEADING IN. >> Brendan: ONCE WATSON WAS CLEARED FOR TAKEOFF, THERE WAS NOTHING WELLS COULD DO. >> Brad: NOPE. BIGGEST LEAD OF THE NIGHT WITH JUST OVER 11 TO GO. THAT WAS A CLANGER FOR SHUMATE. NOT A GOOD THREE-POINT SHOOTER. YOU WERE RIGHT, COLLUM'S COMING BACK IN. >> Brendan: DIDN'T LOOK LIKE A SERIOUS ANKLE SPRAIN OR HIGH ANKLE SPRAIN OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE. PROBABLY NEEDED TO RETAPE OR TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF A BREAK. GREAT PASS. WATSON TO HUFF FOR THE EASY BUCKET YET AGAIN. >> Brad: THERE'S THE FLUSH FOR SHUMATE, HIS 56th DUNK OF THE YEAR, HIS FIRST OF THE NIGHT. >> Brendan: THAT'S A LOT OF DUNKS ON THE SEASON. >> Brad: UH-HUH.

BRACKETS IN SHREDDED PIECES ON THE FLOOR IF THAT HOLDS. >> Brendan: THAT GUY CAME OFF THE BENCH WITH TEN THREES. I HAD KENTUCKY GOING TO THE ELITE EIGHT TOO. >> Brad: HUFF GOT A CHANCE FOR A THREE-POINT PLAY. COMING TO LIFE HERE IN THE SECOND HALF. >> Brendan: HUFF RIGHT THERE, NICE WEEK SIDE DUCK IN, TAKES UP THE SPACE, LEFTY HOOK, EASY WORK. IF YOU'RE A DEFENDER AND YOU HAVE A SIZE ADVANTAGE, DON'T MAKE THE GAME HARD. SLIDE INSIDE, USE YOUR BIG BODY, GATHER YOURSELF, GO UP STRONG. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT BRADEN HUFF JUST DID. >> Brad: BRADEN FORMER ILLINOIS STATE PLAYER OF THE YEAR, FROM GLENN ELLEN, ILLINOIS. WELLS INSIDE, TRYING TO TIP IN HIS OWN MISS. MISSED TWICE FROM TWO FEET AWAY. >> Dana: A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN FOUR YEARS AGO A COUPLE HURRICANES WENT THROUGH WITHIN SIX WEEKS, DEVASTATED THE AREA. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE STILL REBUILDING, TRYING TO GET BACK INTO THEIR HOMES. THIS BASKETBALL SEASON HAS REALLY BROUGHT THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER. THEY EVEN CANCELLED SOUTH LAKE CHARLES LITTLE LEAGUE TODAY SO THE KIDS COULD WATCH THE GAME. AGAIN, I KNOW YOU KIDS AREN'T HAPPY, BUT IT IS A SEASON TO BE PROUD OF. >> Brad: NO DOUBT. THEIR ARENA HAS BEEN REBUILT A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE OF THE HURRICANES. IF YOU'RE GOING TO MISS ONE, MISS IT THAT WAY. OAKLAND AND KENTUCKY COMING DOWN TO THE WIRE. IT'S ON CBS IF YOU WANT TO CHECK THAT OUT. >> Brendan: KENTUCKY NEEDS TO PULL IT OUT FOR OUR BRACKETS' SAKE. I BELIEVE IN THOSE GUYS. >> Brad: HICKMAN, NICE. THE LEFT HAND. >> Brendan: WENT THROUGH THE LANE, SWITCHED HANDHANDS, FINIS WITH THE LEFT OFF THE GLASS. >> Brad: UNDER A MINUTE TO GO IN THE OAKLAND/KENTUCKY GAME. THEY'RE UP BY ONE OVER THE WILDCATS. WE GOT A FOUL AWAY FROM THE BALL. GOING TO BE ON NEMBHARD. KRAJNOVIC CHECKS IN. NEMBHARD CHECKS OUT. WELLS HAD A LOOK FROM THREE. NOW DRIVES INSTEAD. REJECTED. THERE'S A THIRD FOLLOW BY SHUMATE. HE'S GOT ANOTHER DUNK. >> Brendan: THAT'S 57 ON THE SEASON. >> Brad: YEP. THEY CALL HIM SHOE SLAMS. COULD HAVE USED ABOUT SIX MORE OF THEM TONIGHT, THOUGH, AT LEAST. HERE'S WATSON ON THE DRIVE. CAN'T GET IT UNDERNEATH. THE CROWD REACTING. IT'S NOT BECAUSE GONZAGA'S GOT A 73-41 LEAD. THEY HAD THE OAKLAND/KENTUCKY GAME ON THE JUMBOTRON ABOVE US. EITHER THAT OR THEY'RE JUST CHEERING FOR BRENDAN, DANA AND I. >> Brendan: NOT CHEERING FOR ME. MAYBE YOU. >> Brad: WHISTLE UNDERNEATH AND A FOUL. HICKMAN GETS UP SLOWLY. SEASON IS GOING TO END AT 30-4. WHAT A RUN. PERFECT AT HOME, 16-0, THEN TWO MORE IN THEIR HOME ARENA DURING THE SOUTHLAND TOURNAMENT. THEY WON 18. THEY CAME IN WINNING 25 OF THEIR LAST 26, SCORING OVER 80 POINTS A GAME. NOT GOING TO BE THE CASE TONIGHT. >> Dana: GUYS AT THE START OF THE SEASON, COACH WILL WADE CHANGED THE CODE ON THE LOCKER ROOM DO THERE TO 321. EASY TO REMEMBER, YOU'RE THINKING. THERE WAS A DIFFERENT REASON. HE JUST REVEALED IT TO THE GUYS MORE RECENTLY. 3/21 IS TODAY'S DATE. THAT WAS THE START OF THE FIRST ROUND OF THE NCAA TOURNAMENT. HIS HOPE FOR THEM OBVIOUSLY TO BE THERE. I DON'T KNOW THE FIRST DATE NEXT YEAR, BUT HE CAN JUST CHANGE THE CODE NOW SO NOBODY CAN BREAK INTO THE LOCKER ROOM. >> Brad: THERE YOU GO. NO-LOOK PASS. WATSON HAD IT PINNED AGAINST THE GLASS, BUT IT'S GOALTENDING. YOU CAN ADD TWO MORE TO WATSON'S TO CATCH AN ALL NEW "ROCK THE BLOCK" MONDAY AT 9:00 ON HGTV. TRY TO FEED IT INSIDE TO WELLS. A STEAL BY THE BULLDOGS. EXTRA PASS AFTER STROMER. THAT ONE'S INTERCEPTED. >> Brendan: GOING TO START WONDERING WHEN COACH FEW IS GOING TO GET THE REST OF THE STARTERS OUT OF THERE. MIGHT BE TIME TO GET GREGG OUT. >> Brad: TWO STARTERS REMAINING IN THERE IN GREGG AND HICKMAN, WHO'S GOT BALL IN HAND HERE AS WE APPROACH SEVEN MINUTES. GREGG GOT HIS MAN IN THE AIR, BUT HE WALKED. >> Brendan: THIS ONE IS PRETTY MUCH ACADEMIC AT THIS POINT. JUST DON'T WANT TO GET ANYBODY HURT. GOT A QUICK TURNAROUND. >> Brad: WATSON IS NOT IN THERE RIGHT NOW, BUT HE'S DONE A LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. 13 POINTS, 13 REBOUNDS, EIGHT ASSISTS. ALMOST A TRIPLE-DOUBLE FOR WATSON FOR GONZAGA. HERE COMES ANOTHER DUNK! IS SHOE SLAM. HE CAN DUNK WITH THE BEST OF THEM. >> Brendan: OH YEAH, HE CAN GET UP. LOOK AT HIM. >> Brad: THAT WAS ANGRY. >> Brendan: REALLY ANGRY, LIKE THE RIM OWES HIM MONEY. >> Brad: DID YOU SEE THE ONE ANTHONY EDWARDS HAD THE OTHER NIGHT? HE DISLOCATED HIS FINGER. THAT WAS AN ANGRY SLAM. >> Brendan: HE KNOCKED COLLINS OUT OF THE GAME WITH A CONCUSSION. I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT. >> Brad: 11 POINTS FOR BEN GREGG. PROBABLY WOULD HAVE HAD A MORE PRODUCTIVE NIGHT HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR TWO QUICK FOULS EARLY IN THE GAME. >> Brendan: GREGG COMING OUT OF THE GAME. WATCH HIM COME BACK IN. GO OUT THERE AND GET TWO ASSISTS, BIG FELLA. GET YOUR TRIPLE-DOUBLE. PLAYERS KNOW THAT STAT SHEET. THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON OUT THERE. I GUARANTEE YOU WATSON IS GOING TO BE LOOKING TO GET A QUICK GO TWO ASSISTS. >> Brad: SAUNDERS ON THE DRIVE FOR McNEESE. HICKMAN'S PROBABLY THE ONE THAT KNOWS WATSON'S GOT THAT MANY ASSISTS. >> Brendan: I GUARANTEE YOU WATSON KNOWS AS WELL. >> Brad: THERE YOU GO. INSTEAD, NO BASKET. THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN NUMBER NINE. IT WAS A PRETTY GOOD LOOK. WELLS FOR THREE. HE STILL CAN'T GET ONE TO DROP. >> Brendan: JUST BEEN THAT TYPE OF NIGHT. THERE'S NINE. >> Brad: THERE'S NINE. >> Brendan: THIS AIN'T MY FIRST RODEO. I KNOW A LITTLE BIT. HE KNOWS THOSE STATS. HE DEFINITELY CAME IN TO GET THAT TRIPLE-DOUBLE. >> Dana: THAT TRIPLE-DOUBLE WILL BE JUST THE SECOND EVER IN GONZAGA SCHOOL HISTORY. THE OTHER ONE WAS JANUARY 9th, 20 2021. JUST THE SECOND EVER. CRAZY. >> Brad: DANA DOES HER WORK, DOESN'T SHE? >> Brendan: OH YEAH, ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. KRAJNOVIC LAYS IT IN. >> Brendan: NICE DRIVE RIGHT HERE, UNDERSTANDING HE HAD A SHOT BLOCKER COMING IN OVER THERE, TOOK THE CONTACT, SCORED IT ANYWAY. >> Brad: FROM CROATIA. WAS A PREMIER LEAGUE MVP OVER THERE AT ONE POINT. CAPS THE THREE-POINT PLAY. 83-48. JUST UNDER FIVE TO GO. SORT OF A FADE-AWAY PRAYER BY RICHARDS. THAT ONE'S TRUE FROM OUTSIDE FOR THREE. >> Brendan: THAT'S WHAT HE'S KNOWN FOR IS SHOOTING THE THREE-POINT SHOT. >> Brad: HIS 83rd OF THE YEAR. HICKMAN'S GOING, LET'S SEE, HOW CAN I GET THIS BALL? WATSON'S NOT OUT THERE ANYMORE. DOESN'T MATTER. ONE SHY. 13-13-9. HE SAID, WAIT A MINUTE, HOW MANY ASSISTS DO I HAVE? MAYBE I WANT TO PLAY SOME MORE. >> Brendan: COACH, CAN YOU PUT ME IN FOR JUST ONE MORE MINUTE? I THINK IT'S FUNNY WHEN PLAYERS ACT LIKE THEY DON'T KNOW THE STATS. YOU KNOW EXACTLY HOW MANY POINTS YOU HAVE, REBOUNDS, ALL THAT. >> Brad: WHAT'S THE MOST ASSISTS YOU EVER HAD IN A GAME? >> Brendan: I DIDN'T GET MANY. [ LAUGHTER ] >> Brendan: I WAS MORE OF A FINISHER THAN A FACILITATOR. >> Brad: I KNOW THAT. >> Brendan: IN D.C., THOUGH, WE RAN THE PRINCETON OFFENSE. I WOULD GET CHEAP ASSISTS OFF THE HANDOFFS. I MIGHT HAVE A NIGHT WHERE I GOT THREE TO FIVE ASSISTS, BUT IT WASN'T BECAUSE I WAS DIAMOND. >> Brad: OAKLAND HAS BEATEN KENTUCKY. GONZAGA IS ABOUT TO BEAT Mc HAVE UPSET KENTUCKY 80-76. McNEESE CAME IN WITH HOPES OF AN UPSET WITH A 30-WIN SEASON, BUT IT'S BEEN ALL GONZAGA TONIGHT. >> Brendan: SPEAKING OF KENTUCKY, I THINK THEY ONLY HAVE ONE TOURNEY WIN THE LAST FOUR YEARS. THAT'S SURPRISING WITH THE AMOUNT OF TALENT THEY HAVE. I'M SUPER SHOCKED THAT KENTUCKY'S DONE THIS EARLY. I THOUGHT THEIR OFFENSE WOULD BE GOOD FOR AT LEAST A SWEET 16 APPEARANCE. >> Brad: I AGREE WITH YOU. THERE COMES ANOTHER SHOE SLAM. >> Brendan: SHUMATE, SHOE SLAM. HE'S HAVING A NICE LITTLE PERSONAL DUNK CONTEST OUT HERE. >> Brad: HE CAN ALWAYS SAY I WAS PART OF A 30-WIN TEAM AND I HAD 60 DUNKS ON THE YEAR. BUT HE CAN'T SAY THAT HE WON AN NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME. HUFF KEEPS IT ALIVE. THAT THREE-POINT WON'T GO FOR S JUN SEOK YEO. SHAHADA WELLS HAS NEVER REALLY GOT OFF TONIGHT. HE'S IN DOUBLE FIGURES, BUT THEY NEEDED THAT EARLIER. >> Brendan: AND YOU UNDERSTOOD IF McNEESE WAS GOING TO WIN THIS GAME, THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE TO HIT A BUNCH OF THREES, CREATE TURNOVERS, GET THIS GAME PLAYED THE WAY THEY WANT TO PLAY IT, AND IT JUST NEVER HAPPENED. GONZAGA WAS WAY TOO STRONG WITH THE BALL. BALL SECURITY WAS NOT AN ISSUE FOR THEM. HALF COURT EXECUTION WAS ON POINT, WHETHER THEY WERE THROWING INSIDE TO THE BIG FELLAS OR KNOCKING DOWN PERIMETER TRIPLES. IT WAS JUST AN ABSOLUTE CLINIC ON HALF-COURT EXECUTION. >> Brad: WE SAW DAN MUNSON'S SON GET IN THE LINE-UP EARLIER TODAY. NOW COACH FEW'S SON GETS IN THIS ONE. THREE-POINTER BY WELLS KEPT ALIVE. IT WILL BE A THREE-POINTER BY SAUNDERS. THAT ONE GOES. >> Brendan: EVEN THE BACKUPS FOR GONZAGA ARE HANDLING THE PRESSURE QUITE WELL. >> Brad: HERE'S FEW ON A RUNNER. >> Brendan: THE WHOLE BENCH WANTED THAT ONE TO GO DOWN. THE STARTERS APPRECIATE THESE GUYS THAT ARE IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW THAT WORK HARD EVERY SINGLE DAY THAT MIGHT NOT GET THE PLAYING TIME AND THE MINUTES. THE STARTERS REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT THOSE GUYS PUT IN. THEY WANT TO SEE THEM SHINE AND DO WELL AND GET THEIR MOMENTS IN FRONT OF THE CROWD. >> Brad: 1-1 COMING UP FOR SHAHADA WELLS. 15 ON THE NIGHT. SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE NEWCOMER AND PLAYER OF THE YEAR. CAMERON JONES CHECKING IN. 17 FOR WELLS. THIS FREE THROW PUTS HIM ON HIS AVERAGE. AND SHUMATE AND ALL THOSE DUNKS, DONE FOR THE NIGHT AND THE SEASON. SHAHADA OUT OF AMARILLO, TEXAS. GETS THEM BOTH. HE'S GOING TO BE THEIR LEADING SCORER, BUT HE'S GOING TO COME OUT. COULDN'T PULL OFF THE UPSET TONIGHT. GETS A BIG HUG FROM HIS COACH ON THE SIDELINE, ALL THE COACHES, FOR THAT MATTER. HIS ELIGIBILITY IS UP. HE'S 24 YEARS OLD, AT HIS THIRD SCHOOL. KRAJNOVIC TRIED A THREE. AIR BALL. >> Brendan: NOW WE SEE THE BENCHES COMPLETELY CLEAR FOR GONZAGA. >> Brad: SCORE IS GOING TO LOOK A LITTLE MORE RESPECTABLE THAN IT DID A FEW MINUTES AGO. >> Brendan: YEAH. >> Brad: REALLY WON'T INDINDICATE AT ONE POINT THEY WERE UP BY 35 POINTS. >> Brendan: THIS IS ONE OF THE GAMES WHERE GONZAGA CONTROLLED FROM THE OPEN TO THE END. >> Brad: YEAH. BIG COLLISION IN THE LANE. >> Brendan: YOU SEE WELLS CLAPPING FOR HIS TEAMMATES, YELLING INSTRUCTIONS. >> Brad: SENDS BROWN TO THE FREE THROW LINE. >> Brendan: TALKS ABOUT THE TYPE OF CULTURE WILL WADE IS BUILDING OVER THERE AT McNEESE. ALL THESE GUYS COME TOGETHER. IT'S BIGGER THAN BASKETBALL WITH THEM. THEY'RE LIKE FAMILY. >> Brad: BROWN HITS BOTH FREE THROWS. FINAL MINUTE. FEW OFF THE WINDOW, IN AND OUT. GONZAGA ABOUT A BASKET AWAY FROM THEIR PER GAME AVERAGE, WHICH IS SEVENTH BEST IN THE COUNTRY. KRAJNOVIC WILL BRING IT INTO THE FRONT COURT. ABOUT A FOUR-SECOND DIFFERENCE ON THE SHOT CLOCK AND THE GAME CLOCK, NOT THAT IT MATTERS. BUT HE IS GOING TO GO BACK TO THE FREE THROW LINE. GREAT FIRST YEAR IN LAKE CHARLES FOR WILL WADE. SIGNED A CONTRACT EXTENSION. WHOA! THE FOLLOW BY JUN SEOK YEO. >> Brendan: LOOK AT THE BENCH. THEY LOVE IT. YOU SEE ALL OF THEM OVER THERE YELLING. >> Brad: AND THE COWBOYS WILL DRIBBLE IT OUT, AND THEIR SEASON WILL COME TO A CLOSE AT 30-4. 86-65.
