That was exactly the type of bounce back effort we needed to see from Gonzaga after an ugly night in Austin earlier in the week. Massive credit to the 12,000+ fans that packed the Spokane Arena and created a fantastic college basketball environment. I would be remiss not to give credit to John Calipari and Kentucky for committing to a 6-year series (aka the Wiltjer Cup) and agreeing to come to Spokane in the first place. As Gonzaga was reminded this week, it’s not easy to play on the road.
- Gonzaga won this game on the glass (it certainly didn’t win it by taking care of the ball).
