The Gonzaga Bulldogs continued their preparation for next week’s curtain raiser with a 101-70 win over the Warner Pacific Knights. After falling to Tennessee last Friday in Frisco, Texas (where Gonzaga also had other business that could shape the school’s future), the Zags returned to the comfort of The Kennel and returned to winning ways.
As he is likely to do a lot this season, Drew Timme led Gonzaga and all scorers on either team with an efficient 21 points (9-11 FG) in 21 minutes to go with 8 rebounds, 3 assists, and a block. Timme was joined in double figure scoring by Malachi Smith (16 points, 7-11 FG), Julian Strawther (13 points, 5-10), Nolan Hickman (11 points, 4-6 FG), and Efton Reid (10 points, 4-5 FG).
