GU’s NCAA hopes take a tumble in overtime

TIGERS, 78-77

Gonzaga did everything it could to help its NCAA hopes Saturday - except win.

The Bulldogs battled eight-ranked Memphis to the wire and beyond. They rallied from a 13-point deficit to tie the game and earn a chance to win at the end of regulation.

They fell short there and again at the end of overtime. You can read the game story here.

I'm heading out of the Arena right now, but I'll be back later this evening with a commentary on the game.

Between now and then, leave your comments and questions here - or at Steve Bergum's Gonzaga blog - and I'll get to them.
