"Gonzaga College (D.C.) – The Eagles cruised to three wins in three days, outscoring some prime-time competition by 12.3 points per game and shooting a ridiculous 55 percent from the floor in the process.
Stephen Turner’s charges took down Albany Academy (N.Y.), Our Savior New American (N.Y.), and Liberty (Nev.) by playing the smart, disciplined basketball that Slam Dunk fans have come to expect from them over the last two years. Four Gonzaga players – high-major prospects Chuck Harris, Terrance Williams, Myles Stute, and Anwar Gill – averaged double figures in scoring for the tourney. The Eagles’ brilliance at Slam Dunk could elevate them into the national polls in the coming week."
