Watch: Gonzaga's Perkins nearly runs over mop girl

Gonzaga had a fairly easy time with Xavier on Saturday night as the Bulldogs earned their first-ever spot in the Final Four with an 83-59 victory, but there was almost a mini-disaster late in the game.

After picking off a pass at midcourt, Josh Perkins raced to the open hoop for the score with what should have been a clear path to the basket, but that wasn't the case. With play seemingly headed to the other side of the court, the mop girl had come out to wipe down the key and suddenly was smack-dab in the middle of the play.

Thankfully, she was able to show a great quick burst and get out of the way in time before Perkins came barreling in.
