Toppers are killing themselves from the line. They're 2-10 while the Zags are 9-13. That's the difference.

This is a great game!

[CMJ]

This is a great game!

It really has been! Too bad the Toppers can't make their FT tonight. It happens to everyone, you just don't wanna have one of "those kinda nights" with so much on the line. Edited March 22, 2009 by CMJ

The NCAA feed, which uses Microsoft Silverlight, has been fantastic tonight! Much better quality than even the ESPN360.

3:32 left

Toppers 5-14 from the stripe.

[chrisfisher]

Sucks... free throws look to be the Achilles heal for WKU this game. Hopefully they can get a stop or two and nail a few shots.

[bstnsportsfan3]

Gonzaga just got a bucket and a foul.... 77-69 zags over the hilltoppers....FT shooting is whats killing WKU tonight.

[CMJ]

Mendez-Valdez hits some huge shots and it's back down to 4.

[CMJ]

Down to 2 and WKU ball!!!

[UNT_92_Fan]

Mendez-Valdez Hip Checked a dude and it's back down to 2.

Fixed

[CMJ]

Wow...what a finish! WKU tied it but Gonzaga hits the winner with under a second.
