In previous years, a game against St. Mary’s was a schedule circling event. This year, not so much. In a game that was essentially over at the half Gonzaga beat the Gaels 87-65 in a game that wasn’t really as close as the score indicates (if you can say that about a 22-point win).
Corey Kispert led all scorers with 20, Joel Ayayi chipped in 16 including 4 of 5 from deep with Jalen Suggs and Andrew Nembhard both distributing 5 assists.
As stated above, GU was firing on all cylinders in the first half, especially on the defensive end of the court.
