Wow, what a game is all I can really say. The battle between top 5 teams went as one would expect – high level basketball. The prevailing sentiment among basketball media was that Gonzaga had the edge – and why not:
- They were playing close to home
- Their 3rd game in that arena
- They’ve been a juggernaut
- And Duke hadn’t played the same level of competition
Those who ventured to stay up late were treated to a final four level game that was a back and forth affair and an electric atmosphere.
