Games 702-704: Saturday tripleheader
704 - Gonzaga at San Diego
February 16 at Jenny Craig Pavilion in San Diego, CA
ESPN
703 - Stephen F. Austin women at Northwestern State
February 16 at Prather Coliseum in Natchitoches, LA
espn3
Stephen F. Austin's top three players were excellent and the Lumberjacks remained unbeaten in Southland Conference play with an 87-67 win.
Stephanie Visscher scored 21 points and missed just one of her 10 field goal attempts, Imani Johnson also scored 21 and Chanell Hayes added 18 points as the visitors turned a five-point cushion late in the third into a comfortable win.
Stephen F. Austin, which hit 62% of its field goal attempts and had 26 assists on 33 made baskets, won its 13th consecutive game (it hasn't lost since getting crushed at New Mexico, December 20) and moved to 12-0 in league play.
702 - Virginia Tech at Pittsburgh
February 16 at Peterson Events Center in Pittsburgh, PA
NBC Sports Washington
That's win No. 20 for Tech, which got 29 points from Kerry Blackshear Jr. to hang on, 70-64.
This will be the fourth consecutive season the Hokies have won at least 20 games, just the second time in school history that has occurred. Led by future NBA players Dell Curry and Perry Young, the program won at least 20 in five consecutive seasons from 1981-1986.

Games 594-595: On to the Elite 8
NCAA Tournament regional semifinals
595 - (9) Florida State vs. (4) Gonzaga
March 22 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, CA
TBS
The Seminoles held the No. 4 seed to 33% shooting from the field and won 75-60 to advance to the school's first Elite 8 since 1992-93.
Florida State, which will play No. 3 Michigan in Saturday's West regional final, handed out 19 assists on 27 made field goals, blocked nine shots (reserve Mfiondu Kabengele had four) and had eight steals.
Florida State and Michigan will meet for the first time in the tournament.

Game 561 - (6) San Diego women vs. (1) Gonzaga
West Coast championship
March 6 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, NV
ESPN2
The best player in the West Coast Conference stepped up at the perfect time for Gonzaga.
League player of the year Jill Barta scored 32 points - 28 of which came after the opening quarter - on 10-of-19 shooting and Zykera Rice added 17 points on a perfect 7-of-7 performance from the field in a 79-71 win.
San Diego, which did a phenomenal job getting to the final as a No. 6 seed, hit seven of its 11 field goal attempts in the first quarter to grab a 25-20 lead. Gonzaga used a 13-0 run midway through the second quarter to take the lead for good and ending up shooting 51% from the field.
It doesn't matter now, but I wonder if the Bulldogs, now 27-5, would've received an at-large bid with a loss. ESPN's Charlie Creme has Gonzaga as a No. 12 seed in the Lexington region coming into the day. Not sure that changes much after this one.
San Diego (17-15) got 23 points on 8-of-10 shooting and 11 rebounds from Maya Hood (she's the school's all-time leading rebounder) and 20 points out of Sydney Williams.

"they all have sweat equity in these conferences"
"play with a bulls eye on their back"
"he's a shot maker not a shot taker" (pardon?)
"the glue guys"
"winning basketball pass"
"effort plays"
"hanging their hat on the defensive end of the floor"

Game 400 - (1) Gonzaga vs. (1) North Carolina
NCAA Tournament national championship game
April 3 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ
CBS
It's always a 50-50 emotional split for me on the final Monday of the college basketball season. One half of me is excited about watching the national title game, and the other half knows this is it until mid-November.
North Carolina won its sixth national championship, 71-65, though it was far from a well-played/officiated game. Neither team shot well from the field - Gonzaga was 34% on its field goal attempts, Carolina, 35 (the Tar Heels were 4-of-27 from three-point range!) - and the free-throw shooting was horrendous (Gonzaga, 17-for-26, UNC 15-for-26). An absurd 44 fouls were called.
Anyway, we haven't laughed about what announcers say in a while, so let's close the collegiate season with some firsts from Monday's title game:
First time "value the basketball" was said - 18:52 left in first half
"Pick and pop" - 12:23 in first
"Dribble drive" - 11:44 in first
"Blow by" - 12:15 in second
Also, Bill Raftery said "the plum bob" when describing a post move, and I'm just not sure what that means.

Games 398-399: Championship game next
NCAA Tournament national semifinals
April 1 at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ
CBS
399 - (3) Oregon vs. (1) North Carolina
398 - (7) South Carolina vs. (1) Gonzaga
So, after 4 1/2 months of basketball, top seeds Gonzaga and North Carolina will play for the national title on Monday.
In the first game of the night, Gonzaga used another excellent performance from its best player, Nigel Williams-Goss (23 points on 9-of-16 shooting, six assists) and survived, 77-73.
South Carolina saw its improbable tournament come to an end, though the seventh-seeded Gamecocks' 16-0 run allowed them to erase a 14-point, second-half deficit and lead 67-65 at the seven-minute mark. Gonzaga reasserted itself and followed with seven quick points (Zach Collins hit a three and assisted on another basket and Williams-Goss had the other two assists during the spurt) and the Bulldogs hit just enough free throws to hang on.
It seems pretty fitting that Gonzaga will play North Carolina for the title as these two have seemed like the best all-around clubs in the country for much of the year.
The Tar Heels had a double-digit lead, but a late Oregon flurry (and UNC missing its final four free throws in the last five seconds) made the final score - 77-76 - a bit closer than it really was for much of the second half. Kennedy Meeks came up big for the Tar Heels, pouring in 25 points, 14 rebounds (eight offensive!) on a silly 11-of-13 shooting from the field. ACC player of the year Justin Jackson added 22 points for UNC, which returns to the championship game after last year's heartbreak at the hands of Kris Jenkins and Villanova hoping for its sixth national title.
Gonzaga, of course, is playing on the season's final day for the first time.

Games 390-391: First half of final four set
NCAA Tournament regional finals
391 - (3) Oregon vs. (1) Kansas
March 25 at Sprint Center in Kansas City, MO
TBS
The Ducks reached the program's first final four since 1939 with a 74-60 victory, thanks to a defense that held top seed Kansas to 20% shooting from three and 35% overall, but the invidual performances of Jordan Bell and Tyler Dorsey stood out.
Bell did everything, finishing with eight (!) blocked shots, 13 rebounds (seven on the offensive end), and added 11 points and four assists. Dorsey was 6-of-10 from three-point range and poured in 27 points. An absolutely phenomenal evening at the perfect time for both of these gifted players.
Oregon will be a very tough opponent for either North Carolina or Kentucky in next week's national semifinals despite the fact that whomever wins that Sunday regional final will almost certainly be favored.
390 - (11) Xavier vs. (1) Gonzaga
March 25 at SAP Center at San Jose in San Jose, CA
TBS
Historic day for Gonzaga, which reached the final four for the first time in program history (and first for the West Coast Conference since 1957 and those great San Francisco teams), with a dominant performance.
The Bulldogs' defense was exceptional, holding the 11-seed to 35% shooting from the field and 12% from three, while Gonzaga itself made half of its 24 three-point attempts in an 83-59 win.
Gonzaga was at its best defensively in the guarding of Trevon Bluiett, who came into the game averaging 25 points in the tournament, but was held to 10 points on 3-of-14 shooting.
His free-throw shooting wasn't pretty (2-of-8), but otherwise, Johnathan Williams was fantastic for Gonzaga. The junior had 19 and 8 and added three blocks, while Nigel Williams-Goss was his usual steady self, leading the way with 23 points, eight rebounds and four assists.

West Coast championship
March 7 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, NV

I still can't believe this was Gonzaga's 20th CONSECUTIVE appearance in the WCC championship game. That alone is an unbelievable accomplishment, but the Bulldogs took it a step further and won their fifth straight league title, 74-56.
Gonzaga (32-1), with the inside-outside duo of the dynamic Nigel Williams-Goss and Przemek Karnowski (who with a really good post game, specifically a nice lefty jump hook, is NBA-ready right now), should grab a No. 1 seed when the field is announced on Sunday.
Saint Mary's got within 51-46 on an Evan Fitzner corner three with a little over 10 minutes to play, but the Gaels never got closer.
Saint Mary's should be comfortably in the tournament as well - I'm thinking a No. 6 or 7 seed - despite suffering three of its four losses to Gonzaga.

That'll set up a championship game match up with Associated Press No. 4 Gonzaga, which had a few problems with the Broncos, but won 77-68 to reach the WCC final for the 20th consecutive season.
Not much more to say about Nigel Williams-Goss, whose followed winning the WCC player of the year award with an average of 22.5 points, seven rebounds and 4.5 assists in two tournament wins over Pacific and the Gaels.
Jared Brownridge was once again tremendous for the No. 4 seed, scoring a game-high 32 points in a losing effort.

This was my first time seeing Gonzaga and they were pretty impressive, especially Nigel Williams-Goss. The Washington transfer was fantastic - hitting threes, long-range twos, step-back jumpers, driving - and that was just the scoring portion of his night.
To go along with a career-high 36 points on just 15 shots, the redshirt-junior also handed out six assists, grabbed 11 rebounds (as what looked like a generously-listed 6-3 guard) and turned the ball over just once in 95-80 victory.
The Zagdogs moved to 15-0 and continued the best start in program history.
Scoochie Smith All Stars
Also a great night for the all-name team as a pair of San Francisco players - sophomore guard Frankie Ferrari and freshman center Jimbo Lull joined the squad.

About midway through the first half, play-by-play old man Brent Musberger started talking about how BYU's Kyle Collinsworth learned fluent Russian. Right after the 'n' in Russian is when the idiocy began.
Fran Fraschilla, are you available for (a stupid) comment?
"Well, you know the saying - if you know three languages, you're trilingual, if you know two languages, you're bilingual and if you know one, you're American."
Idiot Brent Musberger (new full legal name): "ain't that the truth."
It's hard to find the words to respond.
Hang on, let me look again

Now, I know that response was only in one language and I am (American), but Musberger pulled off a rare/historic feat with this exchange. He managed to make the response even stupider than the original statement. I didn't think that was possible.
Also:
I would bet my Fran Fraschilla Coaching Clinic - June 8, 1992 - VHS (retail value: 7 popcorn kernels) there are at least several million people in this country who can speak more than one language. And let's not forget the millions of people here from other countries who have no doubt LEARNED ENGLISH.
IDIOT UPDATE
Musberger strikes yet again in the second half. When talking about watching Jennifer Azzi coach the San Francisco women's team into the WCC final:
"And she did a great job, Fran. It was a boy's coaching job."
And that's when you put the mute on and get rid of these sexist (Musberger), ignorant old men.

A few things to get to from this game, which Gonzaga hung on to win 61-58 to extend its winning streak in the series to 10 games.
* During pre-game, the McCarthey Center was refereed to as "Zagville".
I think we can do better than that.
Here are my finalists:
- Zagopolis
- Zagtown (population: ZAGS)
- Zag Avenue Landromat
- Lower Zag Valley
- 29 Zag Street
* Great work by a handful of Gonzaga fans, who after Montana's Fabijan Krslovic had a first-half shot blocked started chanting "you got swatted" about 3 1/2 seconds after Krslovic had rebounded his blocked shot and put it back for two points.
* Gonzaga has GO ZAGS as part of the back of their jerseys, and it's simply not acceptable.
