Summary
Gonzaga won its 19th WCC tournament Wednesday night while simultaneously getting its first tough game since the week before Christmas. Parrish and Norlander open on that for the first 15-ish minutes, then get to a bubble case (17:30) that is going to provide the committee with some interesting discussion. We won't spoil it here. After that: Uh, the Big East (27:00) went out and named three Players of the Year on Wednesday. What are we even talking about? The guys wrap on that, plus a remembrance of Kemba Walker's ankle-breaking winner in the 2011 Big East tournament, which happened 10 years ago to the day. Plus: a little lookahead to what to know Wednesday and Thursday in conference championship week. As referenced, here's Norlander's piece on every team to ever make it to the NCAA Tournament with an undefeated record: https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/gonzaga-vs-history-what-the-undefeated-zags-are-up-against-as-they-enter-the-ncaa-tournament-at-26-0/

| 0:29.4 | Score. Gonzaga 88, BYU 78, but it was not easy. The top ranked and undefeated Zags were |
| 0:36.9 | down by as many as 14 points by definition on the ropes. They're undefeated record at |
| 0:41.8 | real risk for the first time this season. Their chance at history slipping away like your |
| 0:47.2 | morals sometimes do in Sin City. But Gonzaga outscored BYU 4725 in the second half. Corey |
| 0:53.8 | Kispert made four threes, Jaylin, Sugs made four threes. The Zags ended up shooting 50.9% |
| 0:59.3 | from the field. They won by double digits. So they are just the 20th team in history. And |

| 1:16.7 | Uh, I thought about it. I thought it was certainly on the table. I didn't think it was |
| 1:21.1 | going to happen. I dropped a, I dropped a pole. Did you vote in the pole when I dropped |
| 1:25.2 | it? I have not voted in any pole lately. Okay. No pulse. Um, I asked Twitter, Hey, what's |
