St. Mary's last 3 FG makes were with 2 seconds on the shot clock. An and 1 and a 3 during that sequence.

Tempo, Tempo, Tempo,

Absolutely killing the Zags

Rather this clunker happen now than in a week or two.

This is a really good blueprint for teams to follow to keep the game close vs the Zags .

SMC punching their ticket to the Tourney.....

Zags- Lose by double digits

Wow

Only if Gonzaga misses shots they normally make. That helped the Gaels tonight.

Some guy on ESPN said Gonzaga is a Final 4 team....

It'll help keep it close, but I don't think I've ever seen a team make so many shots with 3 or less seconds on the shot clock like St. Mary's did. That also forced Gonzaga into doing things they nor.ally don't do(turnovers and forced shots). Gonzaga is still gonna be out west IMO, so even if they don't get a 1 seed, it's not going to affect them that much.

For sure ( I think there still a 1 ) but if you can duplicate what SMC did with the clock you should start least be there in the last 10 minutes

Thinking they can't make the FF now is pretty dumb...

To me the concerning thing for the Zags isn't the loss. It's that , in their first close game in months , they showed a real lack of poise and decision making . Could just be an aberration but their going to be in close games in the tourney so you hope November / December Gonzaga shows up and that this isn't a forebearer

Almost the exact same thing happened in 2017 when they lost to BYU and that seemed to turn out OK.

someone educate me why zags should get a 1, they beat duke

lost to tenn and UNC..........have 4 quad 1 wins, and beat up on lower comp?

Yeah but in 2016 they beat a 11-seed in the E8 and a 7-seed in the F4.

that may be true, im just referring to this year

I was being sarcastic. They're riding momentum off a fluke tournament success. Solid basketball program, but wouldn't gain a 1-seed in any major conference in the country.

Good. Most of the bubble teams this year don't deserve to make the NCAAT as an at-large.
