🏀 Gonzaga at Texas

Ahh, yes another year passes and I had forgotten about ESPN’s woefully tight programming schedule and having to watch the end of mid-major football games I don’t care about until they finish.

[10 - 5 Gonzaga 16:16] We’re going to be lucky to catch the last 10 minutes of the half. Sounds like Nolan Hickman already has a couple threes so that’s great to hear.

[17 - 17 Gonzaga 11:50] It’s finally on.

Not loving the shot selection and turnovers I’ve had to watch so far, but Zags still lead by 1.

[33 - 38 Texas 2:51] Timme gets the Zags within 5, but they haven’t been playing great for a while.

Texas’s 3 point percentage this half feels unreal. Surprisingly they’re only at 46.7% and the Zags are at 71.% yet trail by 8 at the moment. 10 turnovers for the Zags the biggest contributor to the scoring disparity.

[37 - 47 Texas] Terrible end to the half. Zags too predictable about relying on Timme and Texas is too good defensively. Strawther only having 4 points on three shot attempts is completely unacceptable. Nolan Hickman has been good, but I still want more leadership from him.

[42 - 58 Texas 16:37] Zags giving up way too many 3’s today and their half court execution is so poor that they have no chance of coming back.

[46 - 66 Texas as 14:16] Completely embarrassing performance and it’s all down to guard leadership and composure.

Sallis was literally fouled 3 times on that length of court drive before getting the call.

[62 -78 Texas 8:00] Hunter and Carr are a combined 9-14 for 3 for Texas.

[Final 74 - 93 Texas] A lot of work ahead for the Zags between now and the Kentucky game on Sunday.
