Well see if they can hold on to make me the big winner!!

great game going here

38-35 Zips at the half

 

[BB73]

Gonzaga with a big run (31-6) in the second half. Pargo just had a dunk that will make SportsCenter to make it 72-55. Now 2:24 left.

Looks like I'll be 3-for-3 against the spread tonight.

Edit - now they miss a dunk to try to blow the cover.

Akron didn't help themselves by going 13 minutes without a bucket (a couple of free throws but no field goals)... kind of hard to win if you don't score.

What was the major key to Gonzaga's win?

I've never seen a guy who is 6'11", 260 lbs get thrown around so easily as does Josh Heytvelt for Gonzaga. That guy flops so much, you'd think he plays for Duke.

He might flop a lot but I wouldn't mind having him on my team. I enjoyed that Pargo windmill dunk with about two minutes left in the game

Eh, put him up against a team whose biggest player is taller than 6'8", and then we'll see how good he is.

He will be playing at the next level next year and will go high in the NBA draft. You don't find guys that big who can shoot from the perimeter as well as he can. He is a very good player.
