Good evening from NYC. Gonzaga planned a visit to Ground Zero today before gathering for a team meal.

Josh Perkins, who suffered a broken jaw in Wednesday's win over Georgia, tweeted a picture of his dinner: a nutritional shake. The Zags move on with Perkins on the sidelines and possibly Silas Melson on the court. Melson was scheduled to redshirt, but those plans could change, depending on the length of Perkins' recovery.

More on Perkins and the GU-St. John's matchup here.
