Gonzaga men remain undefeated, roll into Sweet 16

INDIANAPOLIS – For the sixth straight tournament, the Gonzaga men are in the Sweet 16. However, this is the first season they haven't lost a single game in that timespan. The NCAA Tournament's top overall seed dusted off Norfolk State 98-55 in the Round of 64 and took care of Oklahoma 87-71 in the Round of 32 over the weekend to improve to 28-0 overall.

The game against Norfolk State was never in doubt. Corey Kispert, who is one of four finalists for the Naismith Player of the Year, scored 15 of his 23 points by halftime. The senior hit six of his nine three-point attempts. Anton Watson came off the bench and added 17 points.

Oklahoma gave Gonzaga a much tougher game, but the Sooners were no match for Drew Timme, who scored a career-high 30 points and snared 13 rebounds. Jalen Suggs and Kispert added 16 points apiece.

"We've been celebrating every one of these wins. We celebrated the other night. We celebrated this one. If we're lucky enough to get another one, we're going to celebrate like crazy for that one," Gonzaga head coach Mark Few said. "This tournament needs to be celebrated, man."

Gonzaga is four wins away from a national title that has thus far eluded the program. The Zags will play Creighton in the Sweet 16 Sunday, March 28 at 11:10 p.m. on CBS. With a win, they advance to the Elite Eight against either USC or Oregon.
