The Zags were a trendy pick to lose to the No. 12 Cowboys. Instead, they played like a No. 1 seed.
Instant reaction to Gonzaga’s 86-65 victory over McNeese State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament …Gonzaga didn’t have the talent to replicate the NCAA success so many of coach Mark Few’s teams produced before?The fifth-seeded Zags were superb Thursday evening in the opening round of the Midwest regional, blistering McNeese State from start to finish and setting up a second round duel with either No. 4 Kansas or No. 13 Samford.
Instead of an upset, or even a breathless escape, the Zags dispatched McNeese State with the ease usually seen when No. 1 seeds face No. 16s. On the perimeter, the Zags challenged jumpers, sealed off passing lanes and held the Cowboys to 1-of-10 shooting from behind the line. Could the Zags turn all the skepticism into a boulder on their shoulder that serves as propellant for a deep run through March?
