Gonzaga Bulldog Art
Why would I be posting one of my bulldog art on a sports art
blog post? Well, the bulldog is the
mascot of Gonzaga
University and their
Basketball team is in the finals of the NCAA “March Madness” basketball
tournament.
Gonzaga was the one that almost got bitten by the UCLA
Bruins in the final four, semifinals on Saturday. Gonzaga was only two wins away from having an
undefeated year. The Bruins gnawed on
the bulldog's attempt to preserve their perfect season. During their 93 -90 win over the Bruins the
score continually changed back and forth by just a couple of points and over a
dozen times they were tied. Even as the
game ended they were tied and had to go into overtime play.
Final Events Kept Gonzaga's Perfect Season Alive
No. 11 UCLA narrowly missed the winning shot with a foul
called in overtime. Tied, with three
seconds to go, and the whole basketball court to traverse they Bulldog’s threw
in a pass and then Jalen Suggs threw up a “Hail Mary '' shot just a few steps
in from mid-court. The shot beat the
buzzer in the overtime avoiding the possibility of one of the biggest upsets in tournament history. The Gonzaga
Bulldogs maintained their undefeated season and a chance for the perfect season.
