After beating Big 12, Big Ten and Big East foes en route to the Maui title, Gonzaga fans are pleased with everyone’s favorite plucky-underdog-turned-powerhouse, even if the last game was a bit ugly:
Zags Fans Soak In The Win
If you couldn’t tell from the final score, this game was not exactly an offensive slugfest. Cincinnati’s defense was absolutely outstanding all game long as they dedicated themselves to doubling Matt Bouldin and Steven Gray on the perimeter and not letting them get their drive started. […] [T]he most outstanding player of the tournament for me was Steven Gray. Like a commenter said in our live game thread, Steven has developed into a flat-out gamer. He contributes in so many ways, shows great control and decision making on the court, and is such a calming presence especially during tonight’s high tension game. He had 13 points tonight but delivered (unofficially) three assists and brought down seven boards. Like Matt Bouldin, he is learning to contribute in a number of ways and continues to shine all over the court.
