Nigel Williams-Goss scored 23 points while orchestrating Gonzaga’s efficient offense, and the Zags finally shook their overrated tag by routing Xavier 83-59 on Saturday to reach the Final Four for the first time. Gonzaga found the range from the perimeter after struggling the first three NCAA games, making 12 of 24 from three-point range. The Zags will face the winner between South Carolina and Florida in next week’s Final Four in Arizona. Gonzaga came into the Elite Eight hitting 29% of its 3-point shots after making 37% during the season. Gonzaga kept the machine rolling in the second half, continuing to make shots while its defense prevented the Musketeers from making any kind of run.
