Gonzaga suffers first loss
There will be no rematch with Butler.
Gonzaga was outplayed by Texas Tech and suffered a 73-63 loss Friday in the semifinals of the Great Alaska Shootout. A GU win would have set up a showdown with No. 22 Butler, which defeated Gonzaga in the finals of last year’s NIT Season Tip-Off in New York.
Instead, Gonzaga will meet Virginia Tech, which dropped an 84-78 overtime decision to Butler. Game time is 7 PST tonight.
