About This Game
When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, something has to give. On the Elite Eight stage, Gonzaga answered that question decisively. The Bulldogs dismantled USC's renowned top-four defense with balanced, relentless scoring and outright domination in the paint. Drew Timme led with 23 points, while Jalen Suggs (18 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists) and Corey Kispert (18 points) distributed the load so evenly that USC's defenders faced an impossible task—stop one scorer, and two others beat you. But the real margin of victory wasn't decided by shot-making; it was decided on the glass. Gonzaga's 48 rebounds to USC's 33 told the complete story of control. The Trojans, fresh off three tournament wins by an average of 21 points, had no answer for a relentless Zag attack that generated second chance after second chance. Though Gonzaga shot 50% for the night—five points below their nation-leading average—they didn't need anything more. This 85-66 victory was a statement: every screen set, every cut, every contested rebound perfectly preserved as a Gameprint.
Game highlights: Gonzaga dominated the boards with a 48-33 rebounding advantage, Drew Timme's 23-point masterclass against a top-4 defense, Three Gonzaga scorers in double figures providing unstoppable balance, Bulldogs' 85 points despite shooting 5% below their season average, USC held under 70 points despite strong tournament play
