Gonzaga vs Michigan Preview
The Bulldogs edged the No. 11 Oregon Ducks 73-72 in overtime on Thursday to reach the Battle 4 Atlantis finals and improve to 8-0 on the season.
Gonzaga built a 17-point lead in the first half before the Ducks — who came back from 19 points a day earlier in their first-round victory over the No. 13 Seton Pirates — mounted a comeback. The Zags shot just 29% in the second half.
“You always wonder with every team: what is it really going be like when your backs are pressed up against the wall and they’ve got hands on you?” Gonzaga head coach Mark Few said, according to The Associated Press. “They responded terrifically, as good as any of our teams quite frankly.”
Bulldogs big man Filip Petrusev scored 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds, both game highs. Forward Corey Kispert added 17 points, shooting 5-of-8 from 3-point range.
Injuries limited the Zags to a seven-man rotation. Three of those seven — Killian Tillie, Ryan Woolridge, and Admon Gilder — played through knee issues.
“It’s kind of a warrior’s mentality that Coach Few has been repeating over and over again,” Kispert said, per The Associated Press. “When the ball goes up, we’re going to run with who we’ve got. In our case, the 7-8 guys that are out on the floor happen to be really, really good.”
The Wolverines bested the North Carolina Tar Heels 73-64 in the tournament semifinals, improving to 6-0.
Michigan shot 28-of-56 (50%) from the floor and 11-of-26 (42.3%) from deep; the Tar Heels went 26-of-61 from the field and 2-of-13 (15.4%) from distance.
“We were making shots but we were also defending,” Wolverines head coach Juwan Howard said, according to The Michigan Daily. “It was a carryover from our defense. We were able to keep them to one-shot opportunities. We wanted to hit the glass and then as we got stops, ‘Go.’ Try to go for layups, open threes and make the extra pass — share the game.”
Wolverines guard Eli Brooks led all participants with 24 points, shooting 9-of-14 from the field. Center Jon Teske scored 10 points, grabbed 8 rebounds, and collected a game-high 4 blocks.
With starting point guard Zavier Simpson in foul trouble for much of the contest — he fouled out after logging just 17 minutes — Howard leaned more heavily on guard David DeJulius.
The sophomore scored 11 points and added 2 assists in 23 minutes off the bench.
“Coach is always talking about a next-man-up mentality,” DeJulius said, per The Michigan Daily. “It was big shoes to fill because Zavier’s a great player and the leader of our team. Eli and I decided to lead the team and stayed connected.”
