Gonzaga survives Southern’s upset bid; Shockers pummel Pitt
A March Madness warm-up turned into a great escape for Gonzaga.
The Zags got pushed to the limit by Southern, pulling out a 64-58 victory in the closing minutes in Salt Lake City to avoid becoming the first No. 1 seed to lose to a 16 in the NCAA Tournament.
Kelly Olynyk led the Zags (32-2) with 21 points. But it was a pair of 3-pointers – one by Gary Bell Jr., the next by Kevin Pangos – that staked the Bulldogs to a 62-58 lead only moments after the game was tied at 56 with 3:45 left.
