Gonzaga has advanced to the Sweet 16 for the sixth consecutive tournament, staving off the challenge of the eighth seed Oklahoma Sooners. The game wasn’t always in hand, as an early eight point lead for the Sooners made things interesting in the first half. The Zags were able to gain some separation in the second half however, and finished with another double-digit victory. Despite the margin of victory, there was still plenty to take away from this Round of 32 win.
