Gonzaga Defeats Patterson

Gonzaga Defeats Patterson

Kris Jenkins

Nearly 3,000 people packed Coolidge’s gym Monday night to watch a marquee matchup between third-ranked Gonzaga and its standout junior guard Nate Britt against Patterson, the Maryland 4A finalist and the top-ranked team in the Baltimore Sun, and its electrifying guard Aquille Carr.
But instead what they saw was a Britt-less Gonzaga team fight back from a 17-point deficit, take its first lead with 1 minute 39 seconds left and finish with a 75-73 win in the MLK Hoopfest Showcase on a game-winning three-pointer by forward Kris Jenkins.
