Gonzaga 80, UWashington 64

If the topic was 7-foot-1, 287-pound Przemek Karnowski’s ride on the Leap of Faith water slide encased in a clear tube through shark infested waters, the play-by-play was on point. Coach Mark Few: “I was there to witnesses the end result.” Forward Kyle Wiltjer: “He probably had the biggest wave, like a tsunami.” Few: “A mini tsunami; it was a lesson in physics.” Karnowski: “I didn’t see any sharks. I was just going through as fast as I could.” Wiltjer: “The sharks were licking their chops, they just let me go through.” Few: “They were banging against the tube.” If the topic shifted to the nine-year gap in the Gonzaga-Washington series, well, neither coach seemed anxious to revisit the interruption of the heated state rivalry/ Jim Meehan , SR.
