Gonzaga powers past LMU 89-55
The Gonzaga Bulldogs donned their gray jerseys for the first time this season and proceeded to dispatch the Loyola Marymount Lions to the tune of 89-55.
Chet Holmgren followed up last week’s monster performance that earned him WCC Freshman of the Week honors with another eye-catching outing (21 pts including 3-3 3FG, 9 rebounds, 3 blocks) that makes you wonder how he could be anything but the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft this summer. He was joined by fellow freshmen Nolan Hickman (11 points, 3 rebounds) and Hunter Sallis (7 points, 3 rebounds) who had impressive performances of their own despite playing less than 20 minutes each. Rasir Bolton and Julian Strawther each had 10 points apiece.
