Gonzaga blasts Division II St. Thomas Aquinas

Nov 23, 2014 - 7:51 AM Spokane, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Angel Nunez scored 24 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, leading 13th-ranked Gonzaga to a 109-55 rout of St. Thomas Aquinas on Saturday.

Byron Wesley added 22 points and Domantas Sabonis chipped in 19 for the Bulldogs (4-0), who easily handled the Division II Spartans for their 29th straight home win. Gonzaga will step up the competition next week with a visit to Madison Square Garden for the semifinals of the NIT Season Tip-off against Georgia.

"You never know who on our team is going to be the guy," said Nunez.

Matthew Lee scored 13 points to lead St. Thomas Aquinas (0-3).

The Spartans kept it close early and a 3-pointer by Marcus Henderson tied the game at 10-10, but a Wesley dunk started a 10-0 Gonzaga run. Wesley added the next five points before a Nunez triple gave the Bulldogs a 20-10 edge.

"I just try to focus on playing hard every night," said Wesley.

St. Thomas got only as close as six from there and a 15-0 run later in the first half sent Gonzaga to a 46-21 advantage. The Bulldogs carried a 56-26 margin to the break and cruised in the second half.
