It’s almost routine and we’ve all seen it a hundred or so times. Gonzaga jumps out to a big lead, takes their foot off the gas letting the other team in the game, closes the half strong then runs away with the second half. The Zags, sporting the Native American light blue uniforms, ran roughshod on a surprisingly game Idaho State Bengals squad 120-79.
Rui Hachimura led the Zags scoring with 33 points, absolutely dominating the last five minutes of the first half and the first five minutes of the second half. He was an impressive 13 for 18 from the field including at least half a dozen dunks.
