But the road ended on Saturday when Northwestern fell to top-seeded Gonzaga 79-73.
While the loss was sad, it became gut-wrenching after a controversial call by the game's officials. Northwestern was in the midst of a game-changing scoring run when a dunk was blocked by Gonzaga. Replay showed that Gonzaga's defender had reached through the net to block the shot, which should have been ruled a foul.

After the game, NCAA officials released an statement confirming that they had made a mistake by missing the call.
