Wish I could see reply of the Thamba call there, it was so quick I couldn't see if he was set before Suggs ran him over.

What? I'm saying we need to get so far ahead any run from them wouldn't matter. It's naive to think they won't have 1 or 2 runs.

This is going according to plan... Gonzaga looks like a suburban high school team that has been beating up other suburban high school teams and now they have to play Duncanville...

Suggs pushed Mitchell out of the way going for the loose ball, then took it in for a layup. No call
