When asked what kind of message Gonzaga sent to the rest of the college basketball world after its dominant win over No. 8 Baylor Monday night, Braden Huff offe
Monday night, Braden Huff offered a more measured approach to the team’s season-opening win, one that left his head coach Mark Few nodding in approval.
“Especially in the first game, you would imagine there's just a lot of juice, the guys are really amped up to play,". "The last thing you would think you would have to worry about is being motivated. Myself and my staff gotta do a better job to get them ready to play. It was just flat. We let them hang around. It's rare that you see a team shoot 25 percent from the field for the game and have a chance to win in the last four minutes. It almost never happens that way.
Monday’s result came a week after Arizona State got trounced 103-47 by Duke in an exhibition game. Hurley admitted after the regular season opener that the message he tried getting to his team from that experience clearly hasn’t worked, though it’s also worth pointing out that he’s working with an entirely new roster than last season. The Sun Devils brought back just two players who logged at least 100 minutes for them last season.
