Gonzaga wears down Grand Canyon 82-70 in March Madness | |
DENVER (AP) Slow-starting Gonzaga finally shook off the first-round jitters, then wore out Grand Canyon 82-70 behind 28 points and 10 rebounds from Julian Strawther in the NCAA Tournament on Friday. Zags senior Drew Timme brought his sweatband and moustache back to March Madness and finished with 21 points, six rebounds and three blocks for the third-seeded Bulldogs (29-5), who haven't lost a first-round game in the tournament since 2008. Next up for Gonzaga is a game Sunday against TCU, which got a last-second shot from JaKobe Coles to top Arizona State 72-70 in the evening's late contest. MORE | |
