Anton Watson - College Basketball News & Rumors

Scores 32 against UCLA Watson logged 32 points (14-15 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across his 30 minutes during Gonzaga's 69-65 win Wednesday against UCLA.

Impact Now, 32 points is Watson's career best. Wednesday marked the first time Gonzaga and UCLA competed against each other since the Sweet Sixteen of March Madness 2023. But without either Julian Strawther or Drew Timme to bail Watson out this time, he stepped up to help the Bulldogs win again. Such has been the case since both professionals' college departures, as Watson is averaging 16.6 points across his current season.

Fails to make offensive impact Watson totaled six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 82-54 loss to UConn.

Impact Watson's six points were well under his season average of 11.1. The senior forward was one of many Bulldog players that could not figure out how to score against the stifling UConn defense. It remains to be seen whether or not the Washington state native will come back for his fifth year of eligibility.

Impact Watson didn't light up the stat sheet, but his performance made all the difference in this closely contested Sweet Sixteen matchup. The senior forward's nine rebounds were above his season average of 6.2, and this is his seventh straight game with a block.

Records 12 rebounds Watson totaled nine points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 84-81 victory over TCU.

Impact Watson's scoring may not have been good enough to complement Drew Timme (28 points), but his rebounding was enough against TCU on Sunday. Now, the Zags must prepare for a Sweet Sixteen matchup against UCLA, whose star is Jaime Jaquez, a power forward Watson will likely be instructed to obstruct pretty much all game.

The senior forward now has two straight games with double-digit boards, as he snagged 10 against Saint Mary's during the WCC Tournament final on 3/7. The Washington state native will look to continue this hot streak against TCU in the NCAA Tournament second round tomorrow night.
