 SEATTLE (AP) - During the final practice before every game, Ramon Sessions and his Nevada teammates attempt long 3-point shots. From halfcourt and everywhere else. Playground-like leaners and twisters — just in case. That case came Saturday night.
The junior guard scored all 20 of his points in the second half — including an improbable, leaning 3 at the shot-clock buzzer with 1:22 left that gave the 24th-ranked Wolf Pack the lead for good in an 82-74 victory over Gonzaga on Saturday night.
"Every day, before the game, we practice shots like that," Sessions said of his acrobatic, startling 3 that Gonzaga coach Mark Few called "a fluke." It was a fluke that helped extend the Bulldogs' first three-game losing streak in six years.
