10 Observations from Gonzaga’s win over Kent State
If you were hoping for a comfortable and big win on Monday night to cleanse the palate, I’m not sure why you would have been expecting that. Kent State proved to be as advertised - a veteran squad that will apply the pressure and make you beat them. Unsurprisingly, the Zags had to dig deep to make that happen.
There were some good signs in this game from Gonzaga. Kent State entered the contest forcing opponents into 20 turnovers per game. The Zags finished with 9 turnovers. Considering how poorly Gonzaga took care of the ball in the first 8 games of the season, I would take 9 every time, though it didn’t feel that way as a 10-point lead evaporated in the second half.
