So what will be harder to turn loose – the most successful basketball season in Gonzaga history or the unhappy coda? The deflating missed layup. The open 3 that caromed away. The meager 14 points in the last 16 minutes. The turnover blues and the stops that weren’t. The blue bloods celebrating another maddening triumph of pedigree. The Gonzaga Bulldogs applauding their entourage – sadly, sincerely – before heading home short of reaching Shangri-La. If there seemed to be fewer wet eyes and catches in the throat in the Zags’ locker room after Duke’s 66-52 victory Sunday in the NCAA South Regional championship game than after some of the program’s previous crushing ends, it wasn’t because they’d been fulfilled just by getting this far. Maybe it’s because they’d seen what was possible in a way many other Gonzaga teams hadn’t. “You could feel it,” said forward Kyle Wiltjer. “We were right there.” And then they were so far away/John Blanchette, SR.
