Who won the Utah-Gonzaga basketball game? I saw a little bit of it but I missed the end.
Zags ended up beating us by 2, 61-59. Gonzaga had a very good plan to defend our starting center Luke Nevill by forcing a lot of double teams which prevents him from kicking it out on the wing to one of our guards. First half was kind of ugly though, neither team was shooting the ball well, but both defenses were very impressive.
I’m not too terribly worried about it though, since we’ve had a pretty tough non-conf schedule—playing Washington in the preseason NIT, Oregon in Portland (at the Rose Garden as opposed to Eugene), at Cal, and now at Gonzaga. I think we can scratch out 20 wins this year, which will probably get us an NIT bid.
