The Gonzaga Bulldogs made some history Tuesday night, defeating Montana 85-75 to set the modern Division I record for consecutive home wins. The Zags’ 72nd straight win in The Kennel came on the back of another dominant Drew Timme performance, as the reigning national Player of the Week tallied 32 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals.
The win was also GU’s 96th in a row over unranked opponents, but that didn’t mean it was a cakewalk by any stretch. Montana came out of the gates hot, withstood late first half pressure from the Zags, and made a valiant comeback attempt before it was all said and done.
