OT - Gonzaga-Kansas State GNT

[naslundfan19]

10-4 K-State 5 minutes in

 

[naslundfan19]

I've been pleasantly surprised by David Stockton. Playing better than I thought he was capable of.

 

[naslundfan19]

How do you leave Pullen that wide open?

 

[naslundfan19]

Looks like I'll be by myself. No John or Dash?



Zags down 7

 

[naslundfan19]

Better effort on the glass so far, which is a good sign. Still nothing from Harris. Shoulder and Achilles are obviously slowing him down.

 

[naslundfan19]

K-State 7-11 from three.

 

[naslundfan19]

Now 8 for 12. Hey, Zags, would it kill you to find the open shooters?

 

[naslundfan19]

49-38 K-State at the half. A lot better than it could have been.

 

[naslundfan19]

Lead down to 8!

 

[naslundfan19]

Effort is there. Just can't score right now. Down 65-50.

The best adjective I can think of to describe Gonzaga right now is soft. They get outworked for rebounds, especially when they're on defense, repeatedly even though they oftentimes have better positioning and they're just flat out scared to take the ball to the basket. I can think of several plays that Sacre and Harris took the ball to the rim and instead of finishing let off and put up a short shot only to miss or have it blocked. There was another play where Sacre double pumped and got called for traveling. Just put the shot up. You'll get a foul call 9 out of 10 times. But you'll never get a call when you play timid like Gonzaga is.

Yup. Spot on. This team needs a David Pendergraft-type player.

First FG in, what, 14 minutes there?

Keep an eye on the 'Clones, Nazzy. "The Mayor" is back in town...
