BOSTON -- Gonzaga has come out on a 9-4 run to lead 54-48 with 17:16 left in the game. Stanley Robinson picked up his third foul of the game with 17:38 left, leading to a technical foul on Jim Calhoun, who slammed his hand on the scorer's table and probably violated all sorts of decorum.

. . . Jerome Dyson came out with a three-pointer to start the second half, his fourth of the game. Pargo answered with a three of his own for his fourth of the game.

. . . The referees today are John Hampston, Steve Pyatt and Hal Lusk.

. . . We were a bit surprised to learn that UConn was a slight favorite in this game, but as always, the Wise guys know something. Providence is a two-point favorite in the second game.
