It wasn’t very pretty at the end, but Gonzaga’s defense is on the up and up there’s no question that the team is staying focused on handling its business during conference play:
- Brandon Clarke opened up the scoring tonight with a pull up jumper from the elbow. He’s established a consistent driving spin move that defenses are anticipating, so if he gets that mid-range pull up jumper down to play off his spin move, opponents are going to be in for a bad time trying to defend him.
- It’s easy to take for granted how good the interior passing is from Clarke, Rui, and Tillie since Gonzaga fans have been blessed with excellent passers in the frontcourt for years.
