WSU and Gonzaga Both Win

The Washington State Cougars are now 3-0
after beating Oregon State Beavers in their
opening game of the Pac-12 schedule. It was
a close game with the Cougars winning 59-55.

Oregon State led at half time 26-23 after scoring

the final eight points of the first half. The Beavers

extended the lead to ten points then the Cougars

went on a 24-7 run giving them a seven point lead.

Oregon State still had opportunity to win but both

teams combined to shoot 2 of 13 from the field in

the last five minutes of the game. The Cougars were

led by senior guard Isaac Bonton with 15 points.

Sophomore DJ Rodman had a career high 13 points

all in the second half. 

WSU takes on the Colorado Buffaloes in Boulder 

on Saturday. The Buffaloes are 2-0 winning easily

over South Dakota and Kansas State. Should be

a good game between those to Pac-12 teams.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs beat West Virginia Wednesday

87-82. The Bulldogs got most of their points from

four players who all scored in double figures. Also, 

star freshman Jalen Suggs had to leave the game in

the first half with an ankle injury. Suggs did return

to play in the second half. He did play 26 minutes in

total scoring 4 points. Suggs had six rebounds and

five assists.

Gonzaga was led in scoring by guard Joel Ayayi with

21 points followed by Corey Kispert and Andrew

Nembhard each with 19. Drew Timme finished with 

17 points. Neither team shot well behind the 3 point 

line shooting under 30 percent. 

West Virginia kept themselves in the game at the

foul line making 27 of 33 while Gonzaga made 

15 of 21. Now the Bulldogs get ready to take on

the number two ranked Baylor on Saturday 10 am

Pacific time.
