FIRST.
HERE IS SHAHADA AT THE POINT. AND THROUGH TRAFFIC.
AND THE FIRST SHOT OFF THE WINDOW.
>> Brendan: TOUGH BUCKET RIGHT THERE BY WELLS.
WENT RIGHT INSIDE. THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO
DO. McNEESE IS GOING TO PRESSURE ALL
GAME LONG. THEY'RE GOING TO TRAP THE POST.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE AGGRESSIVE AND FORCE THE ACTION.
>> Brad: NOLAN HICKMAN GETS >> Brad: NOLAN HICKMAN GETS
TH THREE.
>> Brendan: YOU CANNOT BE AFRAID THAT PRESSURE EXTENDING YOU,
TURNING YOU OVER. >> Brad: THAT THREE-POINTER GOES
FOR NEMBHARD. >> Brendan: THAT'S THE SECOND
THREE FOR THE 'ZAGS. >> Brendan: EXCELLENT HIGH/LOW.
EASY WORK AT THE BASKET. IKE WITH THE REBOUND.
>> Brendan: THE THREE-POINT SHOT IS PART OF McNEESE'S GAME.
IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM PLAY, THEY HAVE FOUR PLAYERS THAT
SHOOT 40% OR BETTER FROM THREE. >> Brad: THAT'S TWO FOR HICKMAN,
WHO SHOOTS 41% OUT THERE. 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! SECOND.
>> Brad: GARCIA GOING TO WORK. JA VON GARCIA AT THE FREE THROW
LINE. >> Brad: WELLS CUT OFF AT THE
BASELINE. BACK OUTSIDE WITH A SECOND TO
SHOOT. OFFENSIVE REBOUND BATTLE WON BY
COLLUM. HE GOES RIGHT BACK UP WITH IT,
STRONG. HE'S GOING TO GO TO THE LINE.
>> Brendan: SEE THE MISSED SHOT, COLLUM CARVING OUT SPACE, HARD
WORKING IN THERE. >> Brad: THAT WAS SHUMATE.
I BEG YOUR PARDON. 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 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. ARC.
>> Brendan: WATSON RIGHT HERE NOT CONCEDING ANYTHING.
GREAT ACTIVE HANDS ON DEFENSE, EYES UP, CATCHES STROMER RIGHT
THERE FOR THE NICE FINISH ON THE 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. 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. 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. OFF THE MARK.
WATSON HAS ANOTHER REBOUND. WATSON FOUND A LANE.
LEFT HAND ON THE CROSSOVER. >> 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 >> 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 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.
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. >> Brendan: JUST BEEN THAT TYPE
OF NIGHT. 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.
THAT ONE GOES. SIGNED A CONTRACT EXTENSION.
WHOA! THE FOLLOW BY JUN SEOK YEO.
>> Brendan: LOOK AT THE BENCH. 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.
