The article also had a few quotes from Gonzaga about the Lions. It's always good to know what opposing coaches and players think of LMU. Here are some highlights:
- “I don’t know if you invite [the Lions to shoot from outside], but they’re just drivers, drivers, drivers,” Gonzaga Head Coach Mark Few said. “That’s how they get themselves to the line. We did a decent job in the second half of being in the gaps and shoring that up.”
- “They’re very, very talented,” Bulldogs guard David Stockton said. “It just depends on which team shows up to the gym. They’ve had some struggles, injuries have hurt them, but they’re more than capable of beating good teams.”
- “They have a lot of belief,” Bulldogs senior Steven Gray said. “They have a lot of good players and they have a lot of confidence and freedom. That’s what makes them so dangerous.”
My hatred for Gonzaga just dropped like 3 points.
