Gonzalez averaged 18 points, nine rebounds, and two blocks while shooting 65 percent (13-of-20) from the field and 50 percent (four-of-eight) from the three-point line in helping the Tartans to a pair of Association triumphs, defeating the University of Chicago, 74-60, before scoring an 86-55 victory over then top-ranked Washington University. Gonzalez posted 16 points on six-of-ten from the floor, and added nine rebounds and three blocks in the win over Chicago, before tallying a game-high 20 points (seven-of-ten) and nine rebounds in the victory over Washington.  In both games, he was perfect from the free-throw line, converting all six attempts.
