  1. 15—15, the number of consecutive West Coast Conference title game appearances by Gonzaga.
  2. 45—45, the number of points scored by Gonzaga’s front line. The three-headed monster of Przemek Karnowski, Kyle Wiltjer and Domantas Sabonis also pulled in 20 rebounds while registering three assists and a block. BYU’s front line combined for a mere 11 points.
  3. 14—14, the number shots it took BYU scoring machine Tyler Haws to reach 15 points. Gary Bell played lockdown defense on the Cougars’ guard while he was in the game and had a massive effect. While scoring at will against just about everyone else, Haws struggled against Gonzaga this season, partly due to Bell. He was 6 of 14 on Tuesday and also posted 10 points (his second lowest total of the season) in the two teams’ last meeting. Haws also went 4 for 12 in an earlier loss to GU earlier in the year.
  4. 18—18, the number of minutes played by freshman phenom Domantas Sabonis. The forward poured in 15 points, grabbed six rebounds and had a single assist and a block. He was also an ultra-efficient 7 of 8 at the free throw line.
  5. 28—points by BYU standout Kyle Collinsworth. The triple-double threat single-handedly kept his team close, but took a whopping 22 shots to get to 28 points.

Seahawks Acquire Jimmy Graham

The latest per Jay Glazer of Fox Sports-

 

The Seahawks haven’t announced anything yet, but knowing how good Glazer is, you can probably expect something official soon.

I guess they didn’t want to waste time in finding Zach Miller’s replacement.

Graham lead the NFL in touchdown catches in 2013 with 16 and had 10 last season. Since 2011, he has 46 touchdown receptions and 4396 yards. His presence, along with Marshawn Lynch, will give the Seahawks two of the best red zone players in the league. Not to mention Russell Wilson, who isn’t too shabby of a player either.

  • In the off chance that you missed it, Beast Mode is coming back.
  • While Marshawn Lynch will be back with the Seahawks, one player who won’t is tight end Zach Miller, who was cut.
  • In addition to Miller, the Hawks will lose Byron Maxwell. The Legion of Boom member is off to Philadelphia via free agency.
  • It seems Seattle may have found Miller’s replacement, as the Seahawks will reportedly make a “late push” to sign for former Broncos tight end and free agent Julius Thomas.
  • In other NFC West news, the Hawks’ arch-rival 49ers will be considerably different next season. With the Khaki pants connoisseur Jim Harbaugh gone, it seems the Niners will also lose three key players. Frank Gore is joining Maxwell in Philly while longtime defensive standouts Patrick Willis and Justin Smith will retire. The NFC West just goat a little bit easier to win.
