GU freshmen show poise beyond years

Back with a notebook from today’s media day (and a feature on Sam Dower coming Thursday). The article that will appear in Wednesday’s S-R is on Gonzaga’s freshmen backcourt duo of Kevin Pangos and Gary Bell Jr. (pictured above), who have been arguably the team’s most consistent players. They’ve gone against several highly touted guard tandems, including Xavier’s Tu Holloway and Mark Lyons, and more than held up.

Also, ex-Zag Ronny Turiaf (Washington Wizards) has been sidelined with a broken hand.
