In 2021 Jalen Suggs hits the buzzer-beater 3-point FG. This year, Julian Strawther hits a 3-point FG. Gonzaga ended up getting an elite performance by Drew Timme 36 points, 13 rebounds. For the Bruins, they had a 13 point lead at Halftime. But their lack of depth ended up was too much despite Jaime Jaquez, Tyger Campbell, and Amari Bailey giving one last gasp. With the victory, Gonzaga will face U Conn in Las Vegas on Saturday. The winner of this game will play in the National Semifinal (Final Four). This is Paul Shishkoff, Junior.
