NCAA Tournament 2017 E8 - Gonzaga Game Thread 3-25

[muskieman]

down 10, X needs to solve the three point shooting success. I think they have emphasized the d on the big guys and let them venerable to the open three. Need to get back to the D of the last few games and turn up the scoring. 8/13 from the 3 will not cut it.

3rd foul on Karnowski

defending the threes but they are still making them. Lots of time but X has to start winning 4 minute wars and getting this lead down. looks like guys have hit a wall making simple mistakes and not in rhythm as a team. Zags look a step quicker right now

[mumuskie87]

Nice bucket by JP.
Time for Zags to start missing some 3's.
They have given up big leads before, i.e Northwestern.
Cmon on guys.
Need to couple guys to catch fire for X.
Chip away at it - win the next war.

We have no answer for Williams.
He is having a career game

[mumuskie87]

Running out time.
Down 15 with 12 to play.
X is only 2-10 from 3.Can't win shooting 20% from 3.

And only 13-20 from the line doesn't help

[bluegrass]

Too many weapons for X to overcome. It's been a great run

[lionelchalmers0]

Yeah unfortunately the same thing that makes the tourney great make it painful. When the other teams shoots lights out, has everyone stepping up, and your star has a poor shooting day that's all it takes.

Fun ride though.

Zags extending the lead - up 18 with 7 to play
Not X's night tonight.
This sucks.

[mumuskie87]

Game over.
Down 19 with under 4 to play
One heck of a run.
So proud of this team.
Great job guys and thank you.
