77-74.
At half Texas led 38-32. Sacre had 15. He was the best big, if not player, on the court. Zags came out focused in 2nd-half and scored 11 straight and was up 6 with just four minutes to go but, as mentioned, committed 6 straight turnovers and Texas capitalized. Zags fought back and it was back and forth, but had dug too big of a hole to climb out of and the Horns won. The staff learned Matt needs the ball more at the end of games.
Rob Sacre had 28 and 9.
Elias Harris had 22 and 8, and looked incredible, had a putback jam that was SportsCenter stuff, he was more big-time athletic than Damion James.
Matt had 15 and 10 assists but his shot wasn't falling like usual.
Gray played well and had at atleast three treys.
Meech had ups and downs, and fouled out near the end (two phantom fouls).
Vilarino equaled Meech and played very, very well, a nice surprise.
Gibbs played a lot like Matt, did well today, made nice passes.
Manny played well but he wasn't stroking it well today.
Olynyk attacked the rim at first, played well.
Folks, Gonzaga should've won this. That's the word. Zags had Texas out of sorts and on their heels, but Texas buckled down and applied some tough defense at the end and the Zags' youth was exposed a bit, but GU still had this game won. Matt needed the ball way more at the end, if that had happened, we'd be chatting about how the guys won today.
Dower will redshirt.
Kong needs to drastically get tougher.
Avery Bradley had 0 in 1st-half, 10 in 2nd-half. James led Texas. Sacre was better than Pittman.
