That’s right – our first #1 seed has fallen as Gonzaga gets upset by #9 Wichita State.\u00a0 Wichita State was lights out from three-point range in the second half – including hitting their last 5 three point shots that sparked a stretch where they went from being down 7 to up 5.<\/p>\n
The biggest play I would say was a turnover with about 3 minutes to go.\u00a0\u00a0 Ron Baker had just hit two FTs to give Wichita State a one point lead.\u00a0 Elias Harris grabbed the ball after the second made FT and tossed it to David Stockton so he could in-bound it.\u00a0 Just one problem.\u00a0 Harris grabbed the ball out-of-bounds and Stockton was in-bounds.\u00a0 So, in essense, Harris had already put the ball in play by giving it to Stockton – and then Stockton proceeded to walk the ball out for a turnover.<\/p>\n
Ron Baker proceeded to get the ball for Wichita State and hit a 3 pointer to give the Shockers a 4 point lead.\u00a0 And then the stadium went nuts when after Gonzaga scored, Fred Vanvleet hit another three-pointer to extend the lead to 5.\u00a0 At this point, the Shockers were able to finish the game off from the FT line and take out the #1 ranked team in the polls going into the tournament.<\/p>\n
Congratulations to Wichita State for their amazing upset and earning a trip to the Sweet 16.<\/p>\n
