GUnit of the Game: @ Portland - 1. 02. 2020

[RenoZag]

Down by seven at the half. . .continuing free-throw line woes. . .yet they open the WCC schedule with a win, extending their road winning streak, and defeated a wily and game Portland Pilots squad, by a final score of 85 - 72.

There are no easy road wins in the WCC, especially when "Zags" are stitched on the front of the visitor's jerseys.

TILLIE! As Killian goes, so go the Zags.

[ZagNative]

Yup. No question. Tillie!

Tillie was the calm to the storm.

[amaronizag]

Tillie!! He's baaaaack!!!

[Reborn]

Without a doubt at all, Tillie. Came out the 2nd half and played the way we need him to play. He gave it his all both on offense and defense. He did play great D.

[Bocco]

Tillie

Tillie. Lead by example. Made some terrific plays on both sides of the court.

Turned around the team himself, along with more controlled tempo/pacing in 2nd half.

He was still in game with 90 seconds remaining, up 20, and looked like he tweaked his leg/ankle before being pulled. Hope ok. Should have been pulled 2 mins prior.

Woolridge. Took only 7 shots and netted 15 points, in addition to solid “d.”

According to the stats, Woolridge played 40 minutes. I thought he sat a little bit at one point, but man, you can't rely on anybody to log those kind of minutes every game. That is a bit disturbing.

Tillie for sure tonight..............

Team was great on TO's, awful on FT's tonight. Worst half of the year, rebounded, both literally and figuratively, in the second half.

Misses from the charity stripe are going to come back and haunt us in March/April. Got to get the team average up to 70%+, guards average up to 80%+.

Reckless plays on defense from the Pilots in the second half, lucky no injuries.

Go ZAGS

Maybe even give him a breather when up 20 and a min or two left, but nope

Gotta be up 35+ for us to put bench in it seems

An odd reluctance by Gonzaga compared to other teams

Remember the Wildcats!

[Birddog]

All the starters had respectable games esp Wooly and Tills. I voted for Tillie!

[All Weather Fan]

Tillie - Tillie with an HM to Woolridge !
