It's probably not a promising sign for stressed writers on deadline when the game clock reads 20 minutes and it's 7:45 already (meaning tipoff won't take place at 8, or probably 8:10 for that matter).

Gonzaga is warming up, the crowd is beyond warmed up. The only Bulldog not taking part in pre-game drills is redshirt freshman guard Grant Gibbs. He's suited up, but it sounds like he's battling an illness.

More at halftime.
