Gonzaga bounced back from its disappointing performance in the West Coast Conference championship game last week in a big way on Thursday night in Salt Lake City.
After scoring just 47 points nine days ago in a 13-point loss to Saint Mary’s that could have cost GU a No. 1 seed, but didn’t, Gonzaga reached that total with a minute, 45 seconds remaining in the first half on a Killian Tillie 3-pointer and rediscovered the offense that went missing in Las Vegas.
Brandon Clarke added 12 points and Tillie scored a season-high 17 in just his 12th game of the season.
