Reece Jenkin is in the fight of his life against stage 4 pancreatic cancer, but he's not in it alone. The town of Colfax, and larger basketball community is there with him. "That's meant the absolute world to me." You can watch the full story here: swxlocalsports.com/spokane/high-s…

Mario now up to 8 assists, ties him with several Zags for 7th most in a single NCAA Tournament game. Not sure how many of those former Zags were freshmen playing in their first March Madness game. Record is 12th, held by Ryan Nembhard vs Kansas in 2024, if you were curious.

Imagine a lot of basketball fans are getting introduced to Davis Fogle right now.

Impressive: Zags held Kennesaw State to ZERO fast break points in the first half.

Davis Fogle might have the six biggest points of that first half, and Jalen Warley’s six aren’t far behind. Again, the fact that this kid is a freshman is INSANE.

Tyon Grant-Foster that was RIDICULOUS

These feel like very important minutes from Diagne.

And we’re off.

Zags have hit the floor for the late (and now even later) game in Portland. 3 seed Gonzaga and 14 seed Kennesaw State. In a day with already multiple upsets, GU looking to take care of business and pick up their 17th straight first round win.

We’ve also got @VandalsWBB covered with @GradyGloverSWX handling Idaho’s practice and press conference from back in Spokane in the studio. @NoahSchmick will join them in Norman tomorrow.

T-minus 2 hours from tip off here at the Moda Center, @ZagMBB looking to make it 17 straight 1st round wins in the NCAA tournament. Join us at 5pm, 6pm, and 630 on @KHQLocalNews; along with @NoahSchmick with @VandalHoops in OKC and @annajhowell in Minnesota with @ZagWBB.

Still over 12 hours from @ZagMBB taking on Kennesaw State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament here in Portland, but I’m live outside the Moda Center breaking down the matchup on @KHQLocalNews this morning.

Kelvin is awesome. Loved talking to him at last year’s NCAA Tournament as well.

Kennesaw State wrapping up shootaround here at the Moda Center in Portland. 14-seed Owls will try to bust brackets and upset 3-seed Gonzaga, who is next up as soon as the Owls are off the floor.

Excited (and proud!) for my guy, but NOT jealous of the miles and hours he’s gonna be putting in the next few days. I’m in Portland with @ZagMBB who will hit the court at the Moda Center tomorrow for a shootaround and press conferences.

What a shot

Two very fun games to kick off the tournament.

"We're excited to get these young guys out there & show them what the NCAA Tournament is about." 12 seed Gonzaga will take on a new but familiar foe in 5 seed Ole Miss to kick off March Madness! Fortier & @ZagWBB react to their NCAA Tournament matchup⤵️ swxlocalsports.com/spokane/gonzag…

"I guarantee you we might be one of the most dangerous 13 seeds in the tournament."👀 @artmoreira3 and @VandalsWBB are heading to Oklahoma with confidence, riding an 18-game win streak and a pressure-free mindset. Idaho's full March Madness presser⬇️ swxlocalsports.com/spokane/idaho/…
