Georgia State was let by Corey Allen with 16 points and Jalen Thomas with 8 rebounds.
Gonzaga played great in the first half………for about three minutes. Then, what could go wrong did go wrong.
2 for 11 from three, 9 for 19 from the free throw line and outrebounded 28 to 23 by a team whose largest player for a large part of the half was 6’7”.
