Games 575-576: NIT first round
576 - (8) SE Louisiana at (1) Saint Mary's
March 13 at McKeon Pavilion in Moraga, CA
ESPN
Incredible shooting performance by Saint Mary's, which was nearly 60% (35-of-59) from the field in an 89-45 blowout.
The Gaels hit 13 threes and two players - Jock Landale (26 points) and Jordan Ford (19) scored as many points as the visitors from the Southland Conference. Calvin Hermanson hit five threes and scored all 17 of his points in a first half that saw the Gaels shoot 61% in building a 43-19 halftime cushion.
The victory was the 29th for Saint Mary's, tying a program record set in each of the past two seasons.
575 - (5) Boston College at (4) Western Kentucky
March 13 at E.A. Diddle Arena in Bowling Green, KY
espn3.com
The Hilltoppers, a top-15 shooting team nationally, hit 55% of their shots and moved on to the second round with a 79-62 victory. Western Kentucky will travel to USC, who defeated UNC Asheville 103-98 in two overtimes on Tuesday.
I wonder if Justin Johnson has an NBA future. The senior forward for WKU has good size (6-7, 245), can shoot it from anywhere (51% overall field goal percentage, 42% on threes) and is an excellent rebounder (averages 9.6, top-30 nationally). Johnson led the way on Tuesday, scoring a game-high 19 points to go along with 12 rebounds.
Taveion Hollingsworth scored 18 points and Darius Thompson added 17 points and eight assists for the Hilltoppers, who at 25-10 have their most wins since the NCAA second-round team from 2008-09 finished 25-9.
Also a nice night of nonsense from the broadcast team of Dave Weekley & Rob Kennedy:
"a catch and shoot guy"
"he's got a Charles Barkley mentality in a point guard's body"
"concussion protocol"
"back in basketball shape"
"takes his foot off the gas"
"a football mentality"
"he pursues the basketball"
"pocket pass"

Game 353 - (2) Saint Mary's vs. (1) Gonzaga
West Coast championship
March 7 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, NV
ESPN
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.

351 - (3) BYU vs. (2) Saint Mary's
350 - (4) Santa Clara vs. (1) Gonzaga
West Coast semifinals
March 6 at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, NV
ESPN
Saint Mary's defense held BYU to 31% shooting in a 81-50 blowout victory. The Gaels' offense was also rolling as they hit 13-of-25 from behind the arc and got double-doubles from both Emmet Naar, who handed out 11 assists to go along with 12 points, and Jock Landale (22 points and 10 rebounds).
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.
