DENVER — The Gonzaga Bulldogs men’s basketball team will look to keep playing when they play Texas Christian University in the second round of the NCAA basketball tournament.
No. 3 Gonzaga overcame a slow start to wear down the Grand Canyon in the first round on Friday night, winning 82-70. As for No. 6 TCU, it took the team some late heroics to get past Arizona State in the first round. TCU’s Jakobe Coles hit a floater with just 1.5 seconds left to give the Horned Frogs a 72-70 win.
Gonzaga goes into the game on a ten-game winning streak, including two convincing victories against a top-flight Saint Mary’s team.
TCU has had some troubles since early February when the team is only 5-7, although most of those losses have come from ranked teams.
