Gonzaga is now two wins away from making history.
The top-seeded Bulldogs finished out their domination of the men's NCAA tournament's West Region with a 85–66 win over No. 6 USC. This one was never competitive: Gonzaga scored the game’s first seven points in less than two minutes to trigger a USC timeout and never looked back. The Zags led the entire way, including by double figures for the game’s final 34:55, blowing away a Trojans club that had won its first three games in Indianapolis by an average of 21.3 points.
Much was made coming in about USC’s top-ranked two-point defense and whether the Trojans’ length could disrupt the Gonzaga offense.
