Gonzaga will pull away in the final 10 minutes of an otherwise tight game with an offense that proves to be much. A shootout won't favor the Tigers, and the key will be for its guards to control tempo, especially in the second half. Timme will be the X-factor, however. Memphis is shooting 47.1% from the floor as a team and has a top-25 defense at 39.6%. The Tigers can have decent percentages, but can they weather the scoring runs from the Bulldogs for 40 minutes? The Holmgren-Duren matchup will be fun. He took one 3-pointer this season, but he will test Holmgren and Timme in the post. Duren, a 6-11, 250-pound center, led the Tigers in the regular season with 12.2 points and 8.1 rebounds. Bates was a highly-touted recruit from Ypsilanti, Mich., but the 6-9, 190-pound forward has had ups-and-downs in his freshman season. Gonzaga (27-3) beat No. 16 Georgia State 93-72 in the first round. Memphis (22-10) squeaked into the NCAA tournament, but it beat No. 8 Boise State 64-53 in the first round. He's a unicorn with the ability to bring the ball up the floor. Holmgren shot 41.2% from 3-point range on 97 attempts, and he will test Duren on the perimeter with his skill-set.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Georgia State didn't come away with the win it wanted from the NCAA Tournament, but the Panthers certainly opened some eyes, even if.

Survive and advance. Gonzaga played well for the last 15 minutes but it was more than enough.

Gonzaga looked recharged starting the second half and determined to use their size advantage. Gonzaga still couldn’t capitalize and was lucky to enter the locker room with a 35 – 33 halftime advantage. Georgia State was let by Corey Allen with 16 points and Jalen Thomas with 8 rebounds.

If Memphis basketball is to advance to the Sweet 16, it will have to knock off Gonzaga, the No. 1 overall seed, in March Madness.

Freshman Jalen Duren, a 6-10 specimen, himself a projected NBA lottery pick, is a skilled and athletic big who will be leaned on to make life difficult for Timme and/or Holmgren on both ends of the floor. For Holmgren, it's north of 20% of the time. They rank 268th in the nation forcing opponents to commit turnovers on just 16.9% of their possessions. Drew Timme, the 6-foot-10 junior who led Gonzaga with 32 points against Georgia State and was The Athletic's pick for preseason national player of the year, averages 17.5 points per game for the No. 1 offense in the country. The Gonzaga offense runs through Timme on more than 28% of possessions. Chet Holmgren, the 7-foot freshman and projected No. 1 overall pick in this year's NBA Draft, is putting up 14.2 points a game and is the fourth-leading shot-blocker in the country.

Gonzaga is the top overall seed in this NCAA Tournament. For more than 30 minutes in Thursday's first-round game against Georgia State, the Bulldogs hardly ...

It wasn't easy for the Bulldogs, who closed out a 34-17 run in the second half. One of GSU's best frontcourt players, Eliel Nsoseme, left the game with a knee injury in the first half. Thursday's game may be part of the same narrative, but it also exposed several defensive weaknesses for Gonzaga, expected to come out of the West Region and reach the Final Four.

But once Drew Timme hit his stride, he scored 22 of his team-best 32 points in the second half. Can you ever really count a team like that out? It was still a four point-game with about 10 minutes to go until Gonzaga found its secret sauce (though not enough to cover the 24.5-point spread). For a long time, the buckets wouldn’t fall.

No. 1 seed Gonzaga overwhelmed Georgia State in the final 10 minutes to claim a tougher-than-expected 93-72 men's NCAA men's tournament victory in Portland.

We’re going to have to rebound the way we did in the second half, as opposed to the first, to give ourselves a chance. “And the fact that Gonzaga’s built a program like this and those two young men are spearheading those efforts — because the name changes. “It’s really, really important to be the hunter and not the hunted,” Few said. “I thought we were trying to be that in the first half. I’ve been in leagues with Kansas and Kentucky and Duke, and I understand what it’s like to be in a league with teams that are always the target, everybody wants to beat. So I knew the size and the skill. “We know we’ve got our work cut out for us,” Memphis coach Penny Hardaway said. “I guess I just had some jitters,” the Gonzaga star junior forward said. … That really helped me just get back to doing what I do.” The Panthers got into the paint with relative ease. I think these guys understood it this week once we started (watching Georgia State film). I kept telling people, ‘That’s not a 16 seed.’ I think they showed it tonight.” You’ve just got to post up and get to the basket and do what you do best.’ I just get a confidence boost when guys have your back like that, even when you’re struggling.
