Defense does it

It takes some doing to shoot 60.3 percent from the field, 71.4 percent in the second half, and have most of the post-game conversation center on the defense. Gonzaga’s ‘D’ was that good in the first half, holding IUPUI without a field goal for the first 10 minutes and triggering an 86-56 men’s basketball runaway Sunday witnessed by another sellout crowd of 6,000 at the McCarthey Athletic Center, though there were numerous vacancies in the student section.

Gonzaga scrambles IUPUI

It takes some doing to shoot 60.3 percent from the field, 71.4 percent in the second half, and have most of the post-game conversation center on the defense. Gonzaga’s ‘D’ was that good in the first half, holding IUPUI without a field goal for the first 10 minutes and triggering an 86-56 men’s basketball runaway Sunday witnessed by another sellout crowd of 6,000 at the McCarthey Athletic Center, though there were numerous vacancies in the student section. That, and the 1 p.m. start time, made for a subdued atmosphere, but it hardly mattered as GU players brought their own enthusiasm and jumped on the Jaguars from the opening tip. The Zags led 16-2 before John Ashworth connected on a jumper with 10:23 remaining. “We won it in a totally different way (than Friday’s 117-72 drubbing of Southern),” head coach Mark Few said. “We had to grind it and we really played exceptional defense for most of the game.” Senior guard Steven Gray jammed the stat sheet again with 17 points – becoming the 33rd Bulldog to reach 1,000 career points – eight rebounds, eight assists and four steals. IUPUI opened up in a box-and-one, with Stephen Thomas tracking Gray, but Gray patiently found his shots and helped teammates find theirs.
