#18 Saint Mary's vs #25 Gonzaga - WCC Tournament Final

Ouch...hope Samham recovers well. Love to see himplay in OZ, especially considering Simpson is in Adelaide...

Cell, I'd love to see Sacre get drafted, but I think they'll always look at the stronger conferences first.

wouldn't you love to have those Seniors in the NBL now they're leaving college and not likely to get drafted - Steindl, Jones, Sacre,..

Have you voted for Delly in the Bob Cousy Award yet???

Harris (Gonzaga)
Jones (Saint Mary's)
Pangos (Gonzaga)
Dellavedova (Saint Mary's) - MVP

The Gael's are now dancing for the 2nd time in the last 3 years!

The last time the Gael's played in the NCAA tournament in 2010 they made it all the way to the Sweet 16...

2 point game with 15 seconds to go, SMC in possession

SMC take a full timeout with 25 seconds to go.

Missed quick shot by Zag's, ends up with Page at the line who nails 2/2 - SMC by 4 with 30 seconds...come on SMC!!!!

Delly comes up good - 2/2 from the line and the Gael's lead by 2 with just 35 seconds to go in OT. Zag's call a full timeout.

48 seconds to go - SMC have possession. Scores still tied.

Scores all tied with 1:10 to go in OT. Delly not having a good time as he has not yet scored and just turned it ouver - Zag's in possession.

Waldow and Page bookend a missed Zag's three-point attempt and SMC back up by 2 with 2:39 to go

SMC opens with 3 straight shots all missed before the Zag's even had a chance...Zag's then nail 2/2 from the line followed by a Steindl shot that was blocked and GU have a 2 point lead with 3:38 remaining in OT.

Harris, Gonzaga's athletic power forward has killed Saint Mary's both inside and out and that three by him was massive to force OT...he leads all scorers with 22 points alongside 12 rebounds.

Delly's last minute was not his best...that turnover with 11 seconds left allowed the Zag's the chance they needed.

Delly misses the piotential game-winner - we head to Overtime!

Damn!

Zag's nail a three with 5 seconds to go - scores all tied.

9 seconds left, Jones fouls. Timeout SMC. Gael's still lead by 3.

Nope - just their play-by-play...Gamecast does not function properly for me...

Delly turns the ball over with 11 seconds left...

Zag's miss a three-point attempt, get the offensive board and put-back - SMC with possession leading by 3 and with 15 seconds remaining.

Page makes 1/2 from the line - Zag's rebound the missed free throw, Delly fouls and Gonzaga call timeout with 23 seconds left and with the Gael's leading 68-63.

Gael's still by 4 and in possession with just 0:31 to go - Gonzaga now resorting to fouling...

Gael's by 4 with 1:18 to go - timeout - Gonzaga in possession.

2:48 to go - Gael's lead 65-62 with Gonzaga in possession.

Gael's by 3 with 3:42 remaining...Delly and Jones leading the way with 18 points each.

Delly now has 16 points to lead the Gael's, also has 4 assists.

Gonzaga's bigs still causing the most trouble...

SMC up by 2 with 7:02 remaining...

36-all at half time.

Leaders for SMC
Delly: 10pts, 2reb, 2ass, 2to
Page: 8pts, 1reb, 1ass, 2to
Jones: 7pts, 1reb, 2ass, 1st

Leaders for GU:
Harris: 11pts, 5reb, 1st
Sacre: 8pts, 1reb

Gonzaga's imposing front line has caused the Gael's issues so far, whilst it is the perimeter shooting keeping the Gael's in the game.

SMC is 7/14 from downtown so far which is pretty good shooting and overall 51.9% from the field compared to Gonzaga's 2/7 from long range and 48.3% shooting from the field. Another concern is that SMC has only gone to the free throw line once to date for 1/2.

Did anyone see the Eagles North game last night? Would like an update cause i missed the game..

Much love..
