Let ZAG fans respectfully post here? With WSU, UW, GRIZ, and LG all done, The ZAGS are the only team I left to root for (despite some of their posters). GO ZAGS!!!!!
 
No, Zag fans can stay away from the Griz basketball forum.
Sorry, I care about Zags as much as I care about Iran. I hope Gonzaga loses soon and quickly.

That was frosh Demetrious Goodson
 
WOW, thanks for the correction. I was switching between 2 games and seen him bring it up the court. I thought it was Pargo. What a game though.

You might want to consider Rocky Mountain College who advanced today to the final 4 in the NAIA Division 1 tournament. They are the only Montana college or University to win a national tournament game.


Rocky in the Final Four
By The Gazette Staff

With senior forward Devin Uskoski supplying 20 points and 16 rebounds, Rocky Mountain College has muscled its way into the Final Four at the NAIA men's basketball championships.

The unseeded Battlin' Bears used a strong inside game in the second half and some clutch free throws in the final 38 seconds to beat Concordia University of California 72-64 in the quarterfinals Saturday afternoon at Municipal Audito-rium in Kansas City, Mo.

Rocky (26-9) will face eighth-seeded Robert Morris College in Monday's semifinal game, scheduled for 5:50 p.m. (Mountain time). The Eagles, from Chicago, Ill., are 27-3 and have won their last 21 games.

Robert Morris defeated unseeded Auburn Montgomery 87-76 in its quarterfinal game earlier on Saturday. In beating 12th-seeded Concordia, Rocky had to rally from an 11-point halftime deficit. The Bears did it with a 32-10 scoring onslaught in the first 12 minutes of the second half to build a 58-47 cushion.

During that surge, the 6-foot-6, 230-pound Uskoski was unstoppable down low in scoring 12 points. Chase Sukut then got hot from the outside, furnishing eight straight points on two 3-pointers and a driving basket to make it 58-47 with 7:55 to play.

Rocky point guard Nate Richardson fouled out with 3:16 to go, and ball-handling problems by the Bears helped the Eagles go on a 9-1 surge to close to within 64-62 on a 3-pointer by Kingsley Costain with 41 seconds to play.

But Rocky's James Bulluck nailed six consecutive free throws and Sukut added two more as the Bears went 8 for 8 at the line in the final 38 seconds to hang on.

Sukut finished with 17 points for Rocky, which is making its sixth appearance at nationals and had never won a game at the 32-team event prior to this week. Richardson had 11 points before fouling out.

Uskoski shot 9 of 10 from the field and had 13 of his 20 points in the second half.

Concordia, from Irvine, Calif., finished its season at 28-7. The Eagles were led by the 26 points of Costain.
