Gonzaga just needed some cooking and the comfort of sleeping in their own beds to get back to playing dominant basketball. Yes, winning three tight road games against quality opponents in conference play is a feather in the cap for this team, but it was nice to see a good old fashioned blowout where the Zags looked good in every aspect of the game.
- Gonzaga’s (big) athletic advantage was on full display in the first half. I’m not sure what happened to this Portland team since the PK85 tournament, but after a quality showing (despite going 1-2) during that tournament the Pilots currently look like a team that had no business being on the same court as the Zags.
