I know, the season isn’t over yet. Syracuse almost beat SMU on the road last week. The Orange can absolutely win on a neutral floor. Last night SU played one of its best games of the season for times.
Graham Ike raced off the floor to celebrate after the buzzer sounded and went airborne trying to chest-bump every player on Gonzaga’s bench.
Braden Huff scored 18 points and Gonzaga avenged two regular-season losses to Saint Mary’s to beat the 19th-ranked Gaels 58-51 in the West Coast Conference Tournament championship.
Pepperdine went from the No. 9 seed to semifinalists thanks to career-best performances from Moe Odum and Stefan Todorovic.
