Julian Strawther, who entered the tournament shooting 39.6 percent on 3-pointers, made his only 3-pointer of the tournament on Thursday and finished it 1 for 14. Chet Holmgren, a 43.8 percent 3-point shooter in the regular season, made just 2 of 16 3-pointers in Gonzaga’s five postseason games. A culprit has been spotty 3-point shooting.

The nation’s most efficient offense went nearly four minutes without scoring in the first half, which allowed Arkansas to recover from a 27-19 deficit, a stretch from which Gonzaga never recovered its form. The Zags have uncharacteristically had trouble scoring in stretches. And they trailed Memphis by 12 points early in the second half before rallying for a narrow victory.

The Zags led 16th-seeded Georgia State by only 4 points midway through the second half before winning in a rout. When Gonzaga found itself behind at halftime, 32-29, it was not an unfamiliar position in this tournament.

Neither teams shot free throws with anything resembling proficiency.

For much of the night, 3-pointers clanked off the rims and runners rimmed off them. The rims at the Chase Center were hardly as kind to Arkansas and Gonzaga as they are to the regular denizens of the arena - Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and the rest of the Golden State Warriors. “We needed Chet to be able to stay in there a little longer,” Few said of Holmgren, who was not among the three Gonzaga players brought to the postgame news conference.
