Gonzaga was finally back in action yesterday after a nearly three week COVID pause, but you wouldn’t have known it as they outgunned the Hawkeyes in a matchup between two of the nation’s top offensive juggernauts. So how did the Zags come away victorious in this slugfest? Well let’s take a look back at the game (sorry, no corporate sponsored preseason tourney name attached to this one):
1. Everyone was wondering how the Zags would come out after such an unusual break in their schedule. While the first few minutes did have some sloppy turnovers and offensive play, the team pretty quickly shook off the rust, and the offense soon picked up into the crisp, fast paced game we’re used to.
