In March Madness, Gonzaga plays near-perfect 2nd half to dispatch Kansas 89-68

Associated Press  

SALT LAKE CITY — And to think, some folks said they might not make it to March Madness. They improved to 16-2 since Jan. 18, with the only two losses coming to Saint Mary’s, the team that beat Gonzaga for the West Coast Conference title but was dismissed from the tournament Friday night. “Late December, it was looking like maybe it wasn’t going to happen,” said Mark Few, his hair still damp from the dousing he received in the postgame locker room. “He’s just got our throttle all the way down and he’s making great decisions.” Kansas was gassed, facing an early start after an emotional, close victory over Samford late Thursday night. “It’s a formula for disaster when you can’t make shots and you can’t stop them,” said Kansas forward KJ Adams Jr., who finished with 10 points.
