More on Timme’s latest second-half masterpiece from the Tigers’ viewpoint, GU’s senior backcourt taking over in another big game and the team's free throw woes in our latest Gonzaga takeaways.

Georgia State’s spirited effort earns respect from top-ranked Gonzaga

They exchanged fist-bumps, congratulations and well wishes before going their separate ways.

Holmgren was just 2 of 5 from the field and 1 of 3 at the foul line. Everything changed in the second half for Gonzaga’s two All-Americans. And so did Georgia State’s frontcourt options as the game progressed in terms of defending the duo.

Head coach Mark Few recalled something that only he and maybe a handful of others witnessed. The question to each: What’s your favorite highlight produced by freshman forward Chet Holmgren?
