INDIANAPOLIS – Gonzaga point guard Jalen Suggs grew up like so many kids in America, chucking shots at a hoop while announcing the details of the winding clock, tie score and a season hanging in the balance.
With one 40-foot flick on Saturday night, Suggs launched a parabola that bounced off the backboard and caromed into perpetuity. His heavenly heave clinched a spot in the national title game and assured that thousands of kids will be mimicking him in their driveways from Spokane to Minneapolis for years to come.
Suggs’ game winner prevented double-overtime for Gonzaga in its 93-90 overtime victory over No.
