From Meehan's Day-After Santa Clara Post: Tongue in cheek?
Gonzaga had 12 turnovers in the first half against the aggressive Broncos. The Bulldogs were better in the second half, finishing the game with 17 turnovers while making 48.1 percent of their shots.
“I need to quit talking about stuff like that the prior week,” Few said. “I told the guys we’re shooting 50 percent, eighth best in the country and the only thing that stops us is when we get careless with the ball. So we promptly went out and turned it over 12 times. Part of it was silly, not making easy plays, and the other part was just not being tough. We were kind of panicking against double teams. We were getting shoved around and they were just physically taking the ball from us.”

“Rob (Sacre) has to get going here. We’re trying to get him some touches. We need to stick with him and I think he’ll break out pretty soon. We’ve been looking. We tried Bol (Kong), we tried ‘Meech’ (Demetri Goodson), Manny (Arop), and (Thursday) it was Manny.”
It was Grant Gibbs chipping in eight points and six rebounds against Loyola Marmount last Saturday. All of Olynyk’s six points and three rebounds came in the second half of Thursday’s win. He also had seven points against LMU.
Arop was effective at both ends of the court against Santa Clara. He scored four points, grabbed a pair of rebounds, blocked two shots and had two steals in 15 second-half minutes. His tip-in gave Gonzaga the lead for good, 65-64, with 4 minutes left.
Sacre, who delivered a key jump hook in the closing minutes, has yet to reach double figures in a WCC game after averaging 12.3 in the non conference. Goodson’s non-conference scoring average of 6.9 has dropped to 5.2 in the WCC. Kong has scored three points or less in five of six conference games.

He always gives us stuff nobody else does.
