BOSTON -- Gonzaga took its first lead of the game on halftime buzeer-beating three-pointer from Pendergraft to head into the locker room up, 45-44. UConn lost a lot of its momentum when Thabeet went to the bench and the Zags settled into their offense.

Pargo leads the Zags with 11 points, Micah Downs has 10 and Pendergraft has nine. UConn is paced by Price's 13, followed by Dyson's nine and eight from Stanley Robinson.

. . . Both teams attempted 16 three-pointers in the first half -- UConn hit seven, and the Zags hit eight. Rebounds were even at 16 apiece and both teams converted 15 field goals (out of 35 for UConn and 32 for Gonzaga). Pargo leads all players with four assists and Price has a team-high three for UConn.

. . . We're going to try and catch the end of the BC-Va. Tech football game and then be back with you for the second half.
