West Coast Conference schedule.

losses during the non-league schedule
they should be favored to win the WCC

making 32 of 57 while Pepperdine was
cold making 19 of 58. The Zags controlled
the boards having 32 defensive rebounds
to Pepperdine's 19. Gonzaga will take on
San Diego at home on Saturday. Go Zags!

The Washington State Cougars had to 
come from behind to win. They were 
down by three at half time however 
outscored the Beavers by ten in second
half. Final WSU 65 Oregon State 58.

The Cougars were led by the the red
hot Oscar Cluff off with 20 points. 
He made 8 of 11 on the field.  He led
in rebounds with 8. Andrej Jakimovski
had 15 points all in the second half.
The Cougars take on Oregon on
Saturday at home. The Ducks are 
undefeated beating the Huskies
76-74 in Seattle.

The Huskies are 0-3 now in conference
play as the Ducks are 3-0. The Huskies 
led the first half by six points however 
let the Ducks get even and ahead as
well. The Ducks scored under ten 
seconds to win the game. Huskies Paul 
Mulcahy had a good look to make
a 3 pointer to win the game however 
he just missed it. The Ducks got the 
rebound with just over a second to 
seal the win. 

The Huskies have played
well despite losing the first three games
in the Pac 12. They take on Oregon State
