The Gonzaga Bulldogs put together a dominating performance on both the offensive and defensive ends in a complete beatdown of the Saint Mary’s Gaels, 85-49.
With Saint Mary’s Ali Bamberger holding strong down low in the first quarter, the Zags struggled in the paint early on. The Zags shot just 5-of-18 from the floor through the first 10, with only two shots coming in the paint. A few threes helped offset the poor shooting, but with the Gaels stifling the floor, Gonzaga relied on its tried and true defense to stay close.
The Zags switched things up, throwing a press at Saint Mary’s that routinely flustered the Gael’s offense.
