Gonzaga routs Creighton, now three wins away from undefeated season - Sportsnet.ca

INDIANAPOLIS — Drew Timme scored 22 points and top-seeded Gonzaga did against Creighton what it’s done throughout this unblemished season, rolling past the fifth-seeded Bluejays with versatile offence and efficient defence to win 83-65 on Sunday in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

Gonzaga did it this time on a quiet day for star Jalen Suggs, who finished with nine points. The Bulldogs methodically built a 10-point halftime lead and pushed ahead by 20 on Suggs’ layup with 11:22 left. The Zags will face sixth-seeded Southern California or seventh-seeded Oregon on Tuesday in the West regional final.

The Bluejays settled down and fought back within 27-25. But Gonzaga answered with five straight points, took a 43-33 halftime lead and spent most of the second half pulling away. Gonzaga: Coach Mark Few’s team just has that look. The Bulldogs are not intimidated by chasing history, not worried about falling short, not even concerned with the hoopla surrounding their quest for the first perfect season by an NCAA champion since Indiana in 1976.Big East teams certainly haven’t found Hinkle Fieldhouse to be any friendlier as a neutral court than it is when they play Butler each season.
