The Gonzaga Bulldogs men’s basketball team has made history this season, advancing to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history. The Bulldogs’ success is largely thanks to freshman Julian Strawther, who has been a key contributor for the team all season long. His three clutch three-pointers in the Sweet Sixteen game against Creighton helped propel the Bulldogs to victory and into the Elite Eight.
Strawther, a 6-foot-7 guard from Las Vegas, Nevada, was one of the most highly sought-after recruits in the country coming out of high school. He chose Gonzaga over offers from some of the top programs in the country, and it’s clear that his decision has paid off. In the Sweet Sixteen game against Creighton, Strawther hit three consecutive three-pointers in the final minutes of the game to give the Bulldogs a lead they would not relinquish. His performance was a crucial part of the team’s success and helped propel them to their first-ever Elite Eight appearance.
Strawther’s performance in the Sweet Sixteen game was just one of many impressive performances he has had this season. He has averaged 11.2 points per game and 4.3 rebounds per game while shooting an impressive 42.9 percent from three-point range. He has been a key contributor for the Bulldogs all season long and his performance in the Sweet Sixteen game was just another example of his ability to step up when his team needs him most.
The Bulldogs have had an incredible season and are now just two wins away from making it to the Final Four. Julian Strawther’s three clutch three-pointers in the Sweet Sixteen game against Creighton were a major factor in the team’s success and have helped propel them to their first-ever Elite Eight appearance. With Strawther leading the way, the Bulldogs have a great chance of making it to the Final Four and making even more history this season.
