The top ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs opened their 2020-21 campaign with a convincing 102-90 win over sixth-ranked Kansas. Read that again. The Gonzaga Bulldogs only trailed for 17 seconds and put up 100+ on the Kansas Jayhawks. Mark Few picked up his 600th career victory as head coach.
From the tip, you knew this was going to be a fun one. The first minute of the game saw what fans were clamoring for all offseason: Anton Watson at the top of a full court press causing havoc, leading to a Jalen Suggs alley-oop.
Gonzaga would go into a lull mid-way through the half to allow Kansas to cut the lead to five, but Corey Kispert hit a monster three to stop the bleeding and Andrew Nembard hit a late desperation three for good measure.
