LAHAINA, Hawaii -- The Gonzaga men's basketball team scored at will against one of the stingiest defensive teams in the country to advance to the championship of the Maui Invitational.
The Bulldogs beat Wisconsin 74-61 in Tuesday night's semifinals. The Badgers allowed only 49 points per game going into the game.
Matt Bouldin, who scored 21 points in Monday's opening round win against Colorado, led the Zags with 18 points. Steven Gray had another big night as well, scoring 15 points. Robert Sacre (13 points) and Elias Harris (12 points) also finished in double-figures.
Wisconsin's largest lead of the game was one point with 17:08 left in the first half. They never led again.
That doesn't mean the Badgers didn't have some great individual performances. Jordan Taylor paced Wisconsin with 19 points, while Jon Leuer scored 18.
Gonzaga now plays Cincinnati on Wednesday night in the Maui Invitational championship. The game is set to tip-off at 7pm on ESPN.
