The Gonzaga Bulldogs men’s basketball team had a tough loss against No. 2 Purdue on Saturday night, despite a valiant effort. The Bulldogs put up a good fight, but ultimately fell short, losing by a score of 75-66.
The Bulldogs were unable to capitalize on their strengths, particularly in the three-point game. Gonzaga shot a dismal 3-for-20 from beyond the arc, and this lack of production from deep was a major factor in the loss. The Bulldogs have been known for their three-point shooting prowess in recent years, and it was disappointing to see them struggle so much in this area.
Despite the poor shooting performance, the Bulldogs still had a chance to win the game late in the second half. They cut the deficit to five points with just over two minutes left, but Purdue was able to hold on for the win.
The Bulldogs were led by Killian Tillie, who had 20 points and 8 rebounds. He was the only player on the team to score in double figures, and he was able to keep the Bulldogs in the game despite their struggles from deep.
The loss was a tough one for the Bulldogs, but they can take solace in the fact that they were able to compete with one of the best teams in the country. It was a good learning experience for the team, and they will look to bounce back in their next game.
Overall, it was a disappointing night for Gonzaga, but they can take some positives away from the game. They have a chance to prove themselves against another top opponent in their next game, and they will look to make the most of it.
