It’s hard to overcome the natural letdown of having to quickly turn around to face UT-Arlington after playing in Chapel Hill, even if it was a bitter loss. It’s even harder to do when the energy of the Kennel Club is missing. So, the Zags get credit for taking care of business and easily dispatching the Mavericks to break a two-game losing streak. Here’s what else I took away from Tuesday night’s game:
- Coming off a 20-point effort against UNC where he was pretty much the only thing holding Gonzaga back from getting truly blown out, it was nice to see Perkins maintaining an aggressive mindset in taking his own shot opportunities.
