Gonzaga continued its series of tune-up games in preparation for UCLA and Duke next week in Las Vegas by defeating the Bellarmine Knights 92 – 50. Gonzaga was led by Drew Timme with 25 points, Julian Strawther with 19 points and 6 rebounds and Andrew Nembhard with 7 assists. Bellarmine led by impressive guard Dylan Penn with 14 points and 6 assists.
As they had in their previous three game, Bellarmine started strong and hung with Gonzaga early taking a 11 – 10 lead at the 14:00 minute mark. Gonzaga looked like they were making a conscious effort to shoot the three ball but missed four of their first five shots from deep.
