00:01 >> Gonzaga Nation here, Dan Dickel.
00:03 86-65 win in Portland at the Child Center.
00:08 Four zags and double figures led by Graham Ekay with another double-double.
00:12 Seventh of the year, 20 points, 14 rebounds.
00:15 Nolan Hickman, another great game, 19 points,
00:17 including four of eight from the three-point line.
00:20 He got off to a nice start, withheld some scrappy competitive play from Portland.
00:27 Portland tried to make it a bit of a game early in the second half by getting
00:31 in that three-point column, which was one play area they struggled with in that
00:35 first half with Tyler Robertson scoring 18, Tyler Harris 10, and
00:40 a big-time production off the bench from Vasily Vucinich for 10 points.
00:45 But at the end of the day, Gonzaga, too much talent,
00:48 pulls away for the win to move to 21-6 on the season.
00:52 Three games left at home versus Santa Clara to avenge the road loss down there
00:57 earlier in play and then on the road at San Francisco-St. Mary's.
01:00 Lots of things have gotten better over the last month.
01:03 Things still need to get better in some areas over the last ten days, but
01:07 all signs pointing to another NCAA tournament appearance for Gonzaga,
01:12 because they just keep winning and they keep getting better.
