Woo-HOOO! Zags dance into the Sweet Sixteen!
Man, I love the Zags. Me and everyone else in Spokane.
They played an outstanding game today and won in a thriller against 12-seed Western Kentucky. The “Hilltoppers” (goofy name-good team) tied it with just seven seconds to go. Daye inbounded to Demetri Goodson who went coast to coast and banked a layup for the win. I guess he’s known as “Meech” on the team. In our house, we’ve called him “Woodson” ever since the Zags played Memphis at the arena, and Bob Knight was calling the game for ESPN and kept calling him Woodson instead of Goodson.
When it came down to the wire, we were on the floor in front of the TV shouting WOODSOOOOOOON!
There’s a lot to love about Spokane, and from November to March Zags Basketball is near the top of our list. The lady Zags are in the dance this year too, and beat Xavier in the first round, 74-59! The whole GU basketball program, men & women, make us proud to have them in little ol’ Spokane.
GO ZAGS!!!!!
Darla & LeRoy at a Zag's home game December 18th. That was the day it snowed about four feet so we scored tickets on Craigslist. Even though we were in the nosebleed section and the game was a blowout against Texas Southern, there's nothing like being there!
