That was certainly an interesting victory - the game was over before it ever began as Gonzaga led 1-0 before the tip off! I was unaware of the "dunking" rule and even Gerry (fount of all sports related arcane knowledge and trivia) was surprised. It seems you can't dunk the ball in warm-up, a fact that one St. Mary's player will NEVER forget. One of the refs was standing right there, spotted the infraction and charged a technical foul against St. Mary's BEFORE the game!
From that point on it was classic Gonzaga ball - the players spend the first 15 minutes of the 1st half finishing their warm-up and then it's game over for their opponent. Fun stuff!
GO ZAGS!
