Box Score
|
Gonzaga PG Matt Santangelo: 22 pts, 6 ast, 6 reb

Box Score
|
Florida C Greg Stolt: 26 pts, 5 reb, 5 OT pts;
Weber St. F Harold Arceneaux: 32 pts, 9 reb

Cinderella, obviously stationed in Seattle, denied Weber State the glass slipper, instead anointing long-time Cindy companion Billy Donovan and his young Gators. A Weber-Gonzaga regional semi wouldn't have worked anyway -- we'd have been torn who to root for.
