Conner Sheets hit six 3's for game-high 31 points in Buchanan's @CifCentral semifinal win over Clovis North (58-44).

Central Section historian Bob Barnett calls Sheets the best player he's seen this year outside Tounde. Hear more from Conner tonight at 10 on @KMPHFOX26.

[Paul Meadors @paulmeadors]

Buchanan punches their ticket to the D1 championship game Saturday at 8:00 with a 58-44 win over defending champion Clovis North. Conner Sheets with 31. Amazing atmosphere. @bhs_sports13

[Michael Orlich @MichaelOrlich]

Words can’t describe how happy I am for my dad. I hope I can be half the coach he is one day! 1 more!!!

[Gabe Camarillo @gabecamarillo_]

FINAL: Buchanan 58, Clovis North 44

Bears are headed to the Division I @CifCentral boys’ basketball championship game for the 2nd time in school history (1st since 2010).

[Gabe Camarillo @gabecamarillo_]

FINAL: Buchanan 56, Clovis East 53

@bhs_sports13 clinches share of TRAC boys’ basketball title, their 1st since 2012. Two years ago, the program went 0-10 in league play. This year, they’ll be the No. 2 seed in @CifCentral D1 playoffs.

What a turnaround for Buchanan boys' basketball under Orlich. Bears beat Clovis North 48-46 on Carter Finley's last-second shot.

[Gabe Camarillo @gabecamarillo_]

The Buchanan boys’ basketball resurgence is real. Bears take down defending D1 champ Clovis North on the road, 66-58.

871st win for head coach Tom Orlich, who has 7th most all-time in California boys’ basketball history per @CalHiSports. He’s done a heckuva job with 19-3 Bears.

[Gabe Camarillo @gabecamarillo_]

Two weeks ago, Conner Sheets hit five 3's in Buchanan's 1st boys basketball win over Clovis West in 8 years.

He's one of four returning starters for 16-2 @bhs_sports13, which head coach Tom Orlich expects to contend for TRAC title.

More from the Bears tonight on @KMPHFOX26!

[Michael Orlich @MichaelOrlich]

Best coach in the business! ‼️

@Ant_tha_knee @USUBasketball @USUCoachSprink Let’s goooo lorenzo!!!

[Jeff Goodman @GoodmanHoops]

The job that Washington State coach Kyle Smith has done is worthy of National Coach of the Year consideration.

Lost his top 4 scorers - including TJ Bamba (Villanova) and DJ Rodman (USC). Myles Rice has been phenomenal, Isaac Jones been a huge addition from Idaho and Jaylen Wells (Sonoma State) and Oscar Cluff (Cochise College) quality low-key adds.

Smith was 101-82 at Columbia, 63-40 at San Francisco and has Washington State in second place in the Pac-12 this season.

Few do more with less.

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

Washington State hasn't been to the NCAA Tournament since 2008, but that may change this season. Cougars are now 17-6 and have a burgeoning star in Jaylen Wells.

Kyle Smith = Pac-12 Coach of the Year.
