    Oh my giddy heart!

      Great post, 'cause it was not the best effort by our Bulldogs.

      But, I'll take the win!

        More fun than watching us win by 45. I think.

        At this point, glad we pulled it out. I am hoping that this was our 'close' one on the road in WCC play. SMC and BYU are going to be awfully, awfully tough places to play.

          It was ugly.

          But, maybe we just won our annual "bonehead loss" for the year which is good - normally our team takes a WCC road game "off" and loses one that they should not, hope this was close enough.

            I think the guys are tired. Physically and emotionally. They have had some big games and league play takes it out of you. This will be a wakeup. I hope. A lack of effort on both ends of the floor by a lot of folks.

            USD played harder, but glad we got the win.

                I have come to expect bad perimeter defense from the Zags, but allowing an undersized USD team to collect 13 offensive boards and outrebound you by 6 overall is just inexcusable. The Zags were just so lazy on the glass tonight. They didn't put a body on anyone.

                  No doubt that SMC and BYU gonna be tough games to win on their turf

                      Fortunately against good teams, Gonzaga has played up to the level of their competition on the road this season.

                      Tough game, definitely not one of Gonzaga's better efforts, but they got the road W and that's all that matters come tournament selection time. Time to look forward to the next one.

                          On this road trip, the average margin of victory was 23.5* points! Nothing to be ashamed about.










                          * sample size of 2 games.

                            it's good to win when you don't play your best, old cliche', but it's true too

                            it's nice to win a close game on the road when the opponent played great and you did not

                            that dribble penetration thing put the pressure on everything, the D glass included

                              That was awful. If our guys had just blocked out and grabbed the ball with two hands on the boards, that game might have been a double digit win for our kids.
