Gonzaga Wins Big And About Huskies and Cougars

Tuesday the Zags beat Oregon State
98-60 after losing to them a couple weeks ago.

The Zags had four players score 
in double figures. Khalif Battle
who had started before came off
the bench to score 23 points in the
same amount of minutes. Graham
Ike led the starters with 22 points
though he only twenty minutes.
Nolan Hickman who played the
most minutes had 16 points.
Michael Ajayi came off the bench 
with 15 points.

The Beavers had 13 turnovers that allowed Gonzaga to score 23 points
to their four points. The Zags scored
50 points in the  first half and the
Beavers scored 30 points in both
halves. Often it comes down to
runs. The Zags ended the first half 
on a 16-3 run.

The Zags shot well from the 3 point
line making 9 out of 13. Tge Beavers took more 3s but made only six.
They shot better from the field to
by making fifty-five per cent and
making 12 more. Also did better
at the free throw line making eleven
more than the Beavers.

The Zags play St. Mary's on the
road Saturday night. St Mary's
is undefeated in the conference 
so the Zags will have to play their
best to win.

The Washington Huskies play at
Minnesota Saturday morning
at 9 am Pacific Time. The Huskies
have to end a six game losing
streak. February will be an easier
schedule than January for the
Huskies so they need to improve.
Their last game was losing a close
loss at home to UCLA last Friday.
Hopefully the time will get them
in a better place. The Huskies have
eleven games remaining on the
regular season. We hope to see success. Next Wednesday they play
Nebraska at home.

The WSU Cougars take on Pacific
on the road on Thursday night. 
The last time Pacific beat the
Cougars in an upset in Pullman
by one point. The Cougars are six place in the West Coast Conference.
The last outing they gave St. Mary's
a good game though they lost by
four. We hope for a turn around.

We hope for a win by all three teams.
