It was the latest home opener on the calendar ever played at the McCarthey Athletic Center, but home cooking was good to the Gonzaga Bulldogs as they dispatched the Northwestern State Demons in a 95-57 win.
Corey Kispert was dialed in for Gonzaga as he finished with 27 points (10-13 FG) and 7 rebounds. Anton Watson matched a career high with 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks in a performance that demonstrated the breadth of his skillset, and the rawness that is still present in his game. Drew Timme, sporting a dashing mustache, had a quiet but effective game with 12 points and 8 rebounds.
