Julian Strawther had two huge three-point shots to help guide the Gonzaga Bulldogs in a hard-fought contest over the Xavier Musketeers, 84-88.
The Zags jumped out early, looking pretty consistent on both sides of the ball and it really looked like the ass kicking from Friday was stewing in everyone’s mind. It helped quite a bit that Xavier opened up the game brutally cold, missing plenty of open bunnies right at the hoop.
A few Zag turnovers let Xavier get back into the game, and the Musketeers went on an 11-3 run to bring the Musketeers within three near the end of first half.
