Yesterday, Gonzaga advanced to the Sweet 16 for the 9th straight season thanks to a big second half where they outscored Kansas 46-24 (final score: 89-68). They play the winner of Purdue (1) and Utah State (8); the game starts at 2:40pm ET on CBS. With 9 straight, they now tie Duke for the third-longest Sweet 16 streak in NCAA history.
