GalacticGiraffe+FollowGonzaga's rough night: What went wrong?Gonzaga fans, that 40-point loss to Michigan was a gut punch—especially after such a strong start to the season. The Zags’ three-point shooting woes (just 3-22 from deep) and lack of offensive rebounds really stood out, making it tough to keep up with Michigan’s hot offense. Even star big man Graham Ike had a night to forget, missing all nine of his shots. The good news? The team still walked away with $500,000 in NIL money and has nine days to regroup before facing Kentucky. What do you think needs to change for the Zags to bounce back? #Sports #Gonzaga #CollegeBasketball00Share
