Steven Gray’s 31 boosts Few Good Men in TBT win

Gonzaga alumni-loaded Few Good Men eased past Mostly Sports 89-47 in opening round of the The Basketball Tournament on Saturday in Las Vegas.

Steven Gray scored a game-high 31 points to pace second-seeded FGM, canning seven of his 12 3-point attempts. Former San Diego State forward Malcolm Thomas chipped in 12 points, nine rebounds and four blocks in the rout.

Mostly Sports, a No. 15 seed comprised of former small-college players, was held to a paltry 26 percent from the field.

Playing with just seven players, including player-coach Blake Stepp, FGM used a 27-4 first-half run to put Mostly Sports in an early double-digit hole.

Stepp tallied 14 points and six rebounds and fellow guard Jeremy Pargo added 12 points and six assists.

The Basketball Tournament is a 64-team, single elimination tournament with a winner-take-all prize of $2 million dollars.
