Well, a Jesuit school from Washington whose name begins with "G" and has a bulldog for a mascot is in the championship game.

The two private universities beat the two large public universities. That semifinal between UCLA and Gonzaga was one of the best college games I’ve seen.

Practice makes perfect. The Gonzaga players knew ehat they had to do. They practice those situations and the half-court shots.

Timeout; no timeout - when the team scores whatever is done is the right call. The two previous versions of “The Shot” - Nova/UNC 2016 and Duke/Kentucky 1992 - both came out of timeouts. hm

I don’t think they practice banking the shot either.

So a lot less pressure than being down by one-three points. So playing with house money whether you call a time out or not. I think on the Lattner shot they were down by one and had to make the shot or they would’ve lost.

What we know from the post-game interviews is that Gonzaga players practice those shots. If they go in or out, so be it. pr
