It wasn’t quite perfection, but Gonzaga’s 101-40 win over the Denver Pioneers was probably as close as it gets to perfect in college basketball. The 61-points that separated the two teams was Gonzaga’s largest margin of victory in program history. It was also the fifth time this season that Gonzaga has eclipsed the century mark.
Rui Hachimura showed why he’s firmly in the running for a Wooden award, racking up 23 points on a perfect 9-9 from the field. Brandon Clarke showed that his national profile should be on the rise too, as he matched Hachimura’s 23 points while also locking up the paint for the Zags on the rare occasions that Denver ventured inside.
