Gonzaga vs. BYU (Feb. 23)
The Bulldogs hit several key 3-pointers in the first half and get to the free-throw line. That was more than enough to carry Gonzaga to a 74-63 West Coast Conference men’s basketball victory over cold-shooting BYU in front of 6,000 Thursday at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
