GJ
You think we will see much of GJ or Gibbs tonight?
Probably GJ
if I had to guess from recent PT. Doesn’t sound like Grant is close to playing.

This season has come and gone like a bolt of lightning ... and wow .. ....
…. I’ve been so very grateful for the ride !
Further .,… Go Zags !!!Hope Gray is 100%
He got bashed around pretty good last night, and w/ Arop out…..Sacre BETTER rebound…GO ZAGS!!
Jeesh, I am nervous…this game really worries me.
Lets DO this thing!
Its gonna be gLoRiOUS!!~
exactly my thought process
Matt needs to step up big time
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Can't let McConnell get going from deep
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
really really really can't afford to let mcconnell play welll
they are hard to stop if he is confident.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
great block by rob
he’s looking pretty active
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Got to keep Meech out there all night
He’s got to stick to McConnell.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Oh Matt
how you build me up and then kick me in the face
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Sweet Will gets to shoot free throws
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Why do all of our guards
Force feed the ball to Rob…but don’t give the ball to Elias when he is wide open
Final 4 or bust
It's remarkable
he has to work so hard for a shot.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Is it time to start drinking yet?
I am haunted by ghosts of Mannys past.
It's very sad
I hope he covers well. Please god don’t let the staff rush him back.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Glad to see Matt's plane has finally landed in NV though.
That was a long layover in Denver.
Zags have adjusted well
Look like they are ready to play now
Rob has done a fantastic job on Omar so far.
Elias is really forcing
Nice pass out to Steven there
He’s getting double and triple teamed. Got to get him free
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Kennel Club needs an Ooooooooooooooooooomar chat
The big man is flummoxed.
Ben Allen has apparently stolen his mojo
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Maaaaaannnn booobs! Maaaaaaannnn boobs!
That was my favorite back in the day.
"E"
I sure would like to see a set call from the bench for E and a clear out. He needs to get in gear or we’re in trouble. Omar is quiet now and we should be taking advantage of that.
Wonder why we aren't getting more Kong...
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
He's trying a bit to hard
But I like seeing him aggressive.
meech's man is mcconnel right?
The Ralphie Report - Covering the Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
only given up 14 points
The Ralphie Report - Covering the Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Eh not really
McConnell is coming off a high screen every time down the court by Omar so Meech is usually switched off. Two of those drives were his though.
Oh well, I’ve got a feeling Harris is going to get some momentum early in the second half. He’s demanding the ball
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Well, only down 1 after the way we started.
Could be much, much worse. I thought we were heading for a 15+ point blowout and I was heading for a hungover morning there for a while.
Max,
did we pick Siena? I’m assuming yes
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
ooooh nice and one Meech
some body language there to draw the foul.
Steindl loves to foul
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Great D Steven
make your free throws meech
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Jesus Meech is fast.
I always forget until he gets out in the open court.
meech kills me

sacre player of the game so far
The Ralphie Report - Covering the Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Rob has been outstanding
easily one of his best total games so far
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
Yikes
not sure how I feel with Elias/Kelly on Omar
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
what does elias need to do to get a foul called?
The Ralphie Report - Covering the Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
It's not the person
it is the rotation. We’re still focused on Samhan and SURPRISE, the staff has failed to adjust to Mickey.
Hopefully Rob is back in
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
then someone needs to poke him in the eye!
If they [the Zags] could have only one quality, the quality to be able to win is not a bad one ~ Mark Few, 2005-2006
super possession out of a dead ball
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
I don't understand the forces by Matt
and I’d love to see Rob in for Elias and let Kelly keep going
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
I donno
Looks like Steven and Mickey were getting into it and then Omar came over to our bench.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
I think the WCC wants 2 teams in the tourney
If they [the Zags] could have only one quality, the quality to be able to win is not a bad one ~ Mark Few, 2005-2006
C'mon guys
Those were a couple of HORRIBLE possessions.
Beat up.
Physical gain doesn’t really suit him tonight.
Matt on McConnell is immediate points in some capacity
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
we are geting hacked to death...yet St. Mary's barely gets touched at its a foul on us!
Its gonna be gLoRiOUS!!~
This crew just doesn't want it
It’s clear that Saint Mary’s as a team just wants it more.
I still think Elias needs to do something for us to win but oh well.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
HOLY GOD WAS THAT AN ISO RUN FOR HARRIS?
Wowwwwwwwww, it’s as rare as the single billed speckled floozie!
Just like that
keep Elias going please
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
I miss Jeremy Pargo so much in games like this
whether it was good or bad he would take a team on his back.
Wish we had someone like that
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
I definitely miss Bouldin
not Pargo, though
If they [the Zags] could have only one quality, the quality to be able to win is not a bad one ~ Mark Few, 2005-2006
I would take Pargo every day of the week and forty-five times on Sunday
to go with this team
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
i keep looking for 'true grit' in our team and all i see is house dust ...
… these boys are gonna need to dig deeper at the Big Dance.
St Mary's looks pretty cocky for a team that's lost to us twice this year.
But I just don’t see the spark from our team necessary to make a run. They look wiped. They’ve played ONE game in the past week, how can they be gassed???
Samhan just ate up Meech
on that screen.
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
The mom is crying.
Why do the moms always cry on these shows?
It took 35 mintues
for us to realize we need to run plays for Elias. Fucking amazing
The Slipper Still Fits - SB Nation's home for the Gonzaga Bulldogs!
He's been painfully absent from our set offense the past 4-5 games.
I knew it’d catch up to us at some point.
You don’t relegate a guy of his talent to set screens and deep post up moves where the other team’s double is right nearby.
You know, our defense was alright for the first 15 minutes.
But SMC is really shooting lights out tonight, gotta hand it to em.
We've seen a lot of teams in the past 10 years waltz into the tournament then crumble when they face some adversity.
Be interesting to see how the team takes this. My gut tells me they’re either headed to a first round exit or an E8+
I pray Coach Few 'feels' the blood dripping from his nose all week long ....
… learns something from it.
He took him out because...
That’s how he do.
What a dumb game this was.

I think the Gonzaga chef should pull the feed bag ... they all look like they have ...
high blood pressure and bad cholestrol numbers.
I don't care what you guys say...
Zags are getting that Spokane draw. I CAN FEEL IT!

That T was really the end of Rob's night
after that he was a shell of himself.

Great Season But!!
All these ups and downs this season, and we end with this loust taste in our mouths..
Keep your eyes on Bouldin, someone needs to make sure he shows up for the tourney. He was awfull in the wcc tourne Soft,Doe Boy Like
MY brother just called from Tacoma...said we played like a buch of girls...I have to agree.
Its gonna be gLoRiOUS!!~
