Webber has West Virginia freshman forward Sagaba Konate to thank, considering it was his emphatic shot “block” against Gonzaga’s Johnathan Williams late in the second half.

“What a block! That’s what I’m talking about!” Webber said on the TBS telecast. “Can’t treat that like no regular highlight! That’s a block! Let’s go, NCAA, let’s play some ball!”
It’s understandable Webber was so excited in the moment considering the enormity of the play: No. 4 West Virginia could have easily upset No. 1 Gonzaga to advance to the Elite Eight — they eventually fell 61-58 — but it appears Konate may have gotten more hand than ball on the dunk attempt.
Oh, well — at the very least, Webber showed us what top-notch hype game looks like.
