Game 246 - Gonzaga at San Francisco

January 5 at War Memorial at Sobrato Center in San Francisco, CA

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.

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.

NCAA tournament first round
March 19 at Maples Pavilion in Stanford, CA

This one got out of hand towards the end of the first half and into the second (Stanford won 85-58) so some Connecticut talk started.

Here's commentator Mary Murphy on how to beat the three-time national champion Huskies, who won their 70th consecutive game in Saturday's first round:

"You have to play very, very well."

Thanks, Mary.
