We’ll make this recap short and sweet. Gonzaga’s offense was clicking on every single cylinder possible Saturday night as they defeated the Portland Pilots, 116-88.
The main story obviously is that Joel Ayayi recorded the first triple-double in program history. It was a storyline coming into the season, with fans clamoring for the possibility, and after a few close calls earlier in the year, it came to fruition on Saturday. Ayayi finished with 12 points, 13 rebounds, and 14 assists to go with ZERO TURNOVERS. The 14 assists are second most in a single game in Gonzaga history behind Blake Stepp’s 16.
