RECAP

Despite a string of recently cancelled games due to the pandemic, Gonzaga showed why they were the #1 team and didn't seem sluggish in a convincing win over the Hawks. They pulled ahead by 20 points in the first half, and Iowa could never cut the lead below 10 the rest of the way. 3-point shooting was a factor, as the Hawks ended 4-22 while Gonzaga shot 13-26. They also struggled at the free throw line with 14-26 shooting.

Luka Garza scored 30 points and had 10 rebounds. Joe Wieskamp added 20 points and nine rebounds. Jordan Bohannon hit only 1-8 from the field, and was 0-5 on 3-pointers. Joe Touissant played well, adding 14 points off the bench.

Unfortunately, point guard Jalen Suggs was tough for Iowa to stop. He hit seven 3-pointers and had 27 points, and they were 14-26 from 3-point range on the day, including 10 in the first half to help built the large lead.
