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.
