LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla.
Devan Dubnyk Wild Jersey . -- Gonzagas fourth
straight lopsided victory didnt come as easy as the final score would
suggest.Jonathan Williams and Zach Collins led a balanced offense with 13 points
apiece, helping the 11th-ranked Bulldogs shrug off a slow start and pull away to
an 82-62 win over Quinnipiac in the first round of the AdvoCare Invitational at
Disney World on Thursday night.The Bulldogs (4-0) also got 10 points each from
Jordan Mathews and Josh Perkins to advance to the semifinals of the eight-team
tournament.Like I told the guys, were not going to be up by 30 every game at
half. Its Division I basketball, Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. Youve got to
scratch and claw, and find your way through it, and I thought we did a nice job
of doing that.Gonzaga used a 12-2 spurt to open a 37-25 lead late in the first
half. Silas Nelsons basket put the Bulldogs up 48-35 with just under 15 minutes
to go, and the closest Quinnipiac (0-3) got after that was 10. Mathews made
3-pointers on successive trips down the floor, sparking a run that enabled the
Bulldogs to build the margin to 23.Not every game is going to be an easy game.
Quinnipiac, they came out fighting but we fought back. We didnt let the first
half dictate what was going to happen in the second half, said Collins, a 7-foot
freshman forward. We executed much better in the second half. We played much
better defense. ... We just fought, stayed together, didnt let it get us down
and just kept rolling.Peter Kiss led Quinnipiac with 18 points and Daniel Harris
added 10. The Bobcats limited Gonzagas leading scorer, 7-foot-1 Przemek
Karnowski, to eight points on 4-for-10 shooting despite not having a player on
the roster taller than 6-foot-9 forward Chaise Daniels.Im proud of our effort,
proud of our togetherness. We have a very inexperienced group, a young group,
Quinnipiac coach Tom Moore said.We come into this game, obviously, against a
program like Gonzaga with a different agenda than they had to have. Were trying
to find ourselves, he added. Overall, tonight was a step forward for us. We have
a long way to go, a lot of things to get better at. This is a blue-blood program
that we played tonight. Im really proud of our effort from start to finish.BIG
PICTUREThe Bulldogs figure to get a better idea of where they are over the next
two days, when they could face a ranked opponent as well as another on the verge
of cracking the Top 25. Quinnipiac stayed close for 15 minutes, but mainly
because Gonzaga shot 41 percent in the opening half and missed nine of 11
attempts from beyond the 3-point arc. The teams remaining in the winners bracket
pose a much bigger challenge.POLL IMPLICATIONSIf the Bulldogs can win this
tournament for the third time, it would bolster their argument to crack the Top
10. At the very least, picking up two quality wins would help their position as
they move toward a Dec. 3 trip to No. 9 Arizona.STILL PERFECTGonzaga improved to
7-0 in the Thanksgiving tournament at Disney formerly known as the Old Spice
Classic. The Bulldogs won the event in 2008 and 2012.Its been great for us. Its
always given us a great barometer where were at, Few said. To get out here on
the road as a group at Thanksgiving, I think it does nothing but kind of draw us
even closer, and weve been working on that all year.UP NEXTGonzaga plays Florida
(5-0) in the tournament semifinals Friday night.Quinnipiac faces Seton Hall
(3-1) in the losers bracket.---More AP college basketball:
