KINGSTON, R.I. - Forget dunking a basketball.

Gonzaga women’s basketball coach Kelly Graves’ excitement prior to the final practice before his 11th-seeded Bulldogs face No. 2-seeded Kentucky tomorrow was all about Dunkin Donuts. Graves made his first trip to the famed joint last night on a walk.

The press conference remark, which will likely make its way into all the media coverage today, showcased how loose the Zags are during their cross-country trip for their Sweet 16 dance with the Wildcats. One thing about Graves and the Zags - they know how to let the good times roll, as highlighted in this morning’s feature on sophomore guard Haiden Palmer .

More coverage later from myself and a picture story from S-R photographer Colin Mulvany.
