Gonzaga and WSU Both Lose

Gonzaga who had been undefeated 

after losing to Portland in their first

game of the season lost to St. Mary's 

on the road 70-59. This means these 

two teams end the West Coast 

Conference season in a tie at 16-2. 

St. Mary's dominated the action

down the stretch winning very easily.

The Zags led by seven at halftime.

In the second half the Zags only 

scored 23 points while Sy. Mary's 

had 41.

Neither team shot well from the 

field however the Zags couldn't 

stop St. Mary's making 3 point 

shots. They made 16 of 33 behind

the line while Zags made 5 of 17. 

The Zags were led by Graham Ike 

with 17 points with two other

starters scoring double figures.

What didn't help the Zags was

only 8 points off the bench as 

they played seven players.  The 

two players off the bench played

a combined 47 minutes. 

Now they wait to see who they

play in the WCC tournament.

It begins on March 5. 

The WSU Cougars lost to 

Pepperdine Saturday 88-79.

The score difference at halftime 

wasn't much difference. The

Cougars I am sure wish that 

they had played a better season. 

Ace Glass who has had a very

good season as a freshman led

the Cougars with 22 points. The

Cougars had ND Okafor with 15

points and 10 rebounds to lead

then in school. 

This has been a terrible record

this year for the Cougars.  They

finish 8th with a conference

record of 7-11.  We will have to

see how the  Cougars do in the

Conference tournament.
