The Gonzaga Bulldogs treated us to some elementary school recess-type basketball in the NCAA tournament’s national championship game on Monday.
Gonzaga’s Killian Tillie set up a Przemek Karnowski and-1 from his butt
You’ve got to scrap in the national title game.
After North Carolina’s Theo Pinson dove to save a ball on the baseline, the ball was loose in the paint. Gonzaga’s Killian Tillie dove to the floor, came up with the ball, and delivered a sharp post pass to big center Przemek Karnowski. With the ball in his hands, Karnowski moved toward the basket and finished an and-1 bucket.
There’s nothing to think about that play other than to love it. It’s not a technical marvel or anything like that, but there’s something cool about chaos like that leading to a butt assist in the biggest game of the college basketball season.
This has been a dramatic title game. It’s probably going to come down, in effect, to a possession or two. This has the potential to be a season-defining play for the Zags.
