What they’re saying

“We just talked at halftime about getting back to guarding again. I challenged them to have their best defensive effort for 20 minutes and to their credit, they did it. I mean, we really defended well, held them to [poor] shooting while staying pretty consistent on the glass.”

— Mark Few, Head Coach, Gonzaga Bulldogs

“Graham had a nice calmness and pace about him. It was a nice heroic effort. And a big key in the second half was he was hitting his defensive coverages better than he did in the first half. So he was spectacular on offense, but then he really dialed it up on the defensive end too. Just an awesome performance.”

— Mark Few, Head Coach, Gonzaga Bulldogs

“Jalen's been hurt too, he was a stud tonight. He had a really severe thigh bruise that he got first two minutes of the Portland game that I think really impacted him in that game and we didn't know if he was going to be able to play today. He wasn't walking on Thursday, so he was great back doing what he does.”

— Mark Few, Head Coach, Gonzaga Bulldogs
