The No. 9 Wichita St. Shockers are on the verge of toppling the No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs. They led for the majority of the first half and appeared to have the Zags on the ropes, but Gonzaga made a comeback to pull within single digits.
Wichita St. leading Gonzaga at halftime
Wichita St. used a crazy buzzer-beating shot to lead Gonzaga at halftime. Is our first No. 1 seed about to fall in the tournament?
That’s not the craziest part of the game, however. Take a look at this shot at the end of the first half:
Notice the clock on the backboard. Jake White made that tip-in with 0.1 seconds left. In a tournament devoid of buzzer-beater drama so far, this is the next best thing.
Gonzaga is shooting just 32.1 percent from the field and are 3-of-12 on three pointers. Meanwhile, the Shockers made 48.3 of their field goals and sank 7-of-14 from beyond the arc. After struggling with No. 16 seed Southern on Thursday and trailing in this game, the Zags are doing little to silence their critics.
Insert your own “Shocker” puns in the comments.
