That's right, Gonzaga's women's basketball team's season ended in the Sweet Sixteen with a tough loss to the #1 seeded Texas Longhorns by a score of 69-47 [SWX Sports, AP News]. Here are some key details about the game:
- Defense dominated offense: Texas' strong defense stifled Gonzaga's high-powered offense, holding them to just 26.5% shooting from the field [Seattle Times, AP News]. This was Gonzaga's lowest scoring output since the NCAA tournament last year.
- Struggles from deep: The Bulldogs, known for their excellent three-point shooting, were unable to find their rhythm from beyond the arc, going just 4 for 22 from three-pointers [Seattle Times].
- Texas controlled the game: The Longhorns never trailed and led by as many as 27 points [AP News]. Aaliyah Moore led Texas with a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds [AP News].
While disappointing, reaching the Sweet Sixteen is a significant accomplishment for Gonzaga's women's basketball team. They'll look to bounce back next season!
