CHANCE FOR A THREE-POINT PLAY FOR MIKE SAUNDERS, WHO CUTS INTO THE GONZAGA LEAD. >> 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. 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. OPPORTUNITIES. >> Brad: THAT THREE RIMS OUT. KEPT ALIVE BY SHUMATE. >> Brendan: I TELL YOU WHAT, McNEESE IS JUST CHASING EVERYTHING DOWN. 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. >> 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 >> 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. 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 >> Brad: THIS IS HOW GONZAGA WENT 14-2 SINCE MID JANUARY, MOVING THE BALL LIKE THIS, SCORING THE THREE BALL, SHOOTING DOUBTING THEM. I HAD THEM ON FEBRUARY 10th AGAINST KENTUCKY. AS GREGG SCORES. 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. WAS DOING WHEN HE INSERTED THIS GUY INTO THE STARTING LINE-UP, BIG GREGG MAKING A DIFFERENCE, CUTTING DOWN THE LANE AND ONE. >> 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 OUT. NICE DEFENSE BY STROMER. GOOD TEAM, BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THEY'VE ONLY FACED 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. HE JUST TAPPED HIMSELF ON THE CHEST. >> Brad: THERE'S AN OPEN LOOK. IT GOES, FINALLY. 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. SHOT HERE. SIX TO SHOOT. WHAT A PASS TO WATSON. HALF COURT HEAVE. 48-25. LOOK LOOK AT THIS DITCH. A DISH TO PASS AND A PASS TO 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. >> 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. 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 PASSPORT. >> Brad: WATSON FOUND A LANE. >> Brad: WATSON FOUND A LANE. AND ONE. >> 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 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. RUNNING. >> Brad: FELL INTO THE LAP OF BEN GREGG. NEMBHARD, THREE RIMS OUT. IKE PUTS IT RIGHT BACK UP WITH A LEFT HAND, NO WASTED MOTION. >> Brendan: IKE'S KNOWN FOR HAVING THAT EXCELLENT TOUCH. FLOATERS, HOOK SHOTS ALL THAT INSIDE, THAT'S HIS FORTE. >> Brad: HE HAS A DOUBLE-DOUBLE. 6 OF 6 FROM THE FLOOR AND TEN REBOUNDS. NICE STRONG MOVE BY FELDER.

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 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. 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 >> 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 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. LITTLE BIT OF EVERYTHING. 13 POINTS, 13 REBOUNDS, EIGHT ASSISTS. ALMOST A TRIPLE-DOUBLE FOR WATSON FOR GONZAGA. HERE COMES ANOTHER DUNK! >> Brendan: OH YEAH, HE CAN GET UP. LOOK AT HIM. >> Brad: THAT WAS ANGRY. >> Brendan: REALLY ANGRY, LIKE THE RIM OWES HIM MONEY. GET YOUR TRIPLE-DOUBLE.

THERE'S NINE. >> Brad: THERE'S NINE. 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, CRAZY. >> Brad: DANA DOES HER WORK, DOESN'T SHE? >> Brendan: OH YEAH, ONE OF THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. KRAJNOVIC LAYS IT IN. KRAJNOVIC LAYS IT IN. >> Brendan: NICE DRIVE RIGHT HERE, UNDERSTANDING HE HAD A SHOT BLOCKER COMING IN OVER 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 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? 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 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 ONE. THREE-POINTER BY WELLS KEPT ALIVE. IT WILL BE A THREE-POINTER BY SAUNDERS.
