Creighton coach Greg McDermott cringed when he glanced at a halftime box score.
The Bluejays held Gonzaga first-team All-American Corey Kispert to two first-half points on Sunday, yet they still trailed by 10.
“There’s just so many ways that they can beat you,” McDermott lamented.
This is the pick-your-poison challenge that Gonzaga poses. With a patient, unselfish approach, three of the 15 best players in college basketball and a wealth of complementary talent, the Zags always seem to have an answer no matter what opponents try to take away.
Gonzaga’s 83-65 rout of Creighton was its 26th consecutive victory by a double-digit margin.
