The bane of any two-three zone is a team that can light it up from deep, and Saint Mary’s is that team. When a team that shoots threes well is, well, shooting threes well, it’s hard to stop. UW had a career performance from Nahziah Carter and superb games from Noah Dickerson and Matisse Thybulle but it wasn’t enough as the Gaels’ outside onslaught was just too much in their 85-81 victory
The Gaels hit two of their three attempts from deep in the first quarter while Naz Carter had UW’s final attempt (excluding a half court heave from Jaylen Nowell) and was the only one to hit.
