The team was not stingy with the ball by any means with every starter having at least one assist. Domantas Sabonis stepped up big off the bench tallying 18 points and the Gonzaga Bulldogs would go on to win, 87-68.

Gonzaga forward Kyle Wiltjer would rack up 24 points and 7 rebounds. Wiltjer would go 10-of-12 from the field, being 4-of-6 from 3-point range.

Strange, Yet True

Gonzaga will face UCLA in the Sweet 16 … the same team that eliminated the Bulldogs in the Sweet 16 in 2006.
