A few possessions later, Watson found a crease in the Toreros' zone defense as he made himself available underneath the hoop. Hunter Sallis found Watson on the baseline before the senior elevated over 6-foot-10 center Steven Jameson II, resulting in a foul and a fired-up McCarthey Athletic Center.

Drew Timme couldn't hold in his excitement for his teammate, either, as the Zags took a 31-19 lead.
