Gonzaga Keeps On Rolling into the National Championship
If you are any way affiliated with Gonzaga or have watched them, you know that these guys are on a roll. The work of the big men inside, led by Karnowski and Williams-Goss, combined for 27 points. Not to mention 18 rebounds and six blocks. A ton of people have doubted the Zags, I mean with a record of 37-1 how could they be that good?
It wasn’t just all Gonzaga, South Carolina went on a roll in the second half, going on a 14-0 run. Williams-Goss missed a shot with 12.7 seconds left and South Carolina rebounded and called a timeout, trailing 75-72. South Carolina passed the ball around and Gonzaga fouled Sindarius Thornwell before he could shoot with 3.5 seconds left. Thornwell made the first free throw and missed the second on purpose in hopes of his teammates grabbing an offensive rebound. Killian Tillie rebounded for Gonzaga, was fouled and made two free throws to cement the game.
This is the furthest Gonzaga has ever reached in the big dance. Can they capture the National Championship? We will have to see tonight when they take on North Carolina in Phoenix.
