The scary part is, he thinks that also might be true for the undefeated Bulldogs. Nembhard had 17 points and eight assists, both season highs, to keep the NCAA Tournament’s top overall seed rolling on Sunday (Monday in Manila) with an 83-65 rout of fifth-seeded Creighton in the West Region semifinals. Next up is Tuesday’s West regional final against sixth-seeded Southern California, an 82-68 winner over seventh-seeded Oregon. Defensively, the Zags held Creighton to 40 points over the final 30 minutes as they methodically turned a 27-25 game into a blowout. Gonzaga never trailed, led 43-33 at halftime and spent most of the second half pulling away.
