Well, that’s not what you wanted. In a game that could have used the console getting unplugged and reset, Gonzaga was absolutely dominated and trounced in the Elite Eight by the UConn Huskies, losing 82-54. The season ends in Vegas with the Zags finishing 31-6 on the year. Here are 10 observations from that game.
1. Drew Timme deserved better than this. From the lack of scoring around him to the most anticlimactic foul trouble imaginable, the environment of last night’s game undercut the best post-scoring big man in the modern era of college basketball. From an overzealous officiating crew to dismal shooting performances, the curtains dropped far too early and aggressively on a special talent.
