View From The Rafters: Gonzaga's Goodson Finishes Off WKy

The view from high in the Rose Garden for the last couple of shots. Nice finish aside, WKU's Mendez-Valdez provided a heck of a show with his 3pt shooting ability but Gonzaga's Goodson out shined everyone when it came down to the last play of the game. Goodson streaked down court and made a short, running bank shot with 0.9 seconds left, lifting the fourth-seeded Bulldogs over Western Kentucky 83-81 Saturday night in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Gonzaga (28-5) advanced to the South Region semifinals to play top-seeded North Carolina on Friday in Memphis, Tenn. The Tar Heels defeated LSU 84-70. "It's unbelievable for a freshman point guard, a big-time, big-time play," guard Micah Downs said. "He came down, read it perfectly, and then that's his shot. He practices it all the time."
