“Another wild night in Lahaina.” That’s how Mark Few described his Tuesday evening in Gonzaga’s 91-74 win over the Arizona Wildcats. Despite perfect conditions outside, Gonzaga found itself in a storm that looked difficult to weather for the first 23 minutes of the game.
Experience and talent eventually won out, however, and Gonzaga used a dominant second half to overcome Sean Miller’s young team that is still experiencing growing pains. Rui Hachimura led Gonzaga in scoring with 24 points, while Zach Norvell added 20 of his own despite a very cold first half. Arizona’s Justin Coleman led all scorers with 28 points.
