Gonzaga opens up big lead, runs away with 81-50 win over Portland
Gonzaga wasn’t exactly lighting it up at 34.3% from the field in the opening half, but it hardly mattered because of Portland’s penchant for dry spells and turnovers. It added up to GU holding an 18-point halftime lead and the only question was whether the Zags would be able to maintain or build on it – three days after an 18-point lead against Pepperdine melted to three in the closing half in Malibu.
