GU vs. Texas: Last first half TV timeout - 31-29 Gonzaga

GONZAGA

What is really tough to take is when a physically inferior player does everything he has to do fundamentally blocking out, and the superior player commits a foul by attacking through the body – and it's not called.

It's the official's job to protect the integrity of the game, and they can't just assume the better athlete is going to win the battle. That's happened a few times already today and it must stop if GU is to win.

For such a big guy, Durant sure likes to fade from the hoop. He's had Pargo and Boldin on him at times, and has turned away from the hoop. Expect that to change in the second half.
