GAME RECAP
MVP
Matt Mooney, Texas Tech
While Gonzaga swarmed Tech star Jarrett Culver into a poor shooting performance, the transfer from South Dakota was masterful, hitting outside shots, converting difficult drives and dishing the ball when double-teamed.
Turning Point
After Gonzaga hit a three-pointer to make it 58-58, Mooney hit a reverse layup and guard Davide Moretti stole the ball and hit a three-pointer. Texas Tech led the rest of the way.
