The Pacific Tigers gave the Gonzaga Bulldogs everything they wanted, but it wasn’t quite enough for the hosts as the Zags made just enough plays to rebound from Thursday night’s loss with a 99-90 win.
Drew Timme played like the superstar he is and finished the evening with a new career high 38 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 blocks. His frontcourt running mate Anton Watson was equally big with 16 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 blocks, and a steal. Rasir Bolton (16 points) and Julian Strawther (15 points) rounded out the double-figure scoring for Gonzaga.
If you were expecting the Zags to come out and play inspired basketball and blow the Tigers away to salve the wounds of Thursday’s loss to LMU, well, that’s not what happened.
