Gonzaga Bulldogs

RECORD: 21-4 overall, 9-1 WCC

COMING UP: Tonight at Loyola Marymount, 6 (Fox 28); Saturday at Pepperdine, 6 (Fox 28)

OUTLOOK: Gonzaga can secure no worse than a share of the WCC title and lock up the top seed for the conference tournament with a pair of road wins. LMU battled Gonzaga to a halftime tie last month before the Bulldogs pulled away for an 85-69 victory. Vernon Teel scored 27 points for the Lions, who played without Jarred DuBois (12.9 points) and Ashley Hamilton (7.2 points) in the first meeting. Both are expected to play tonight. Gonzaga has won 29 of the last 31 in the series. Pepperdine has lost seven straight conference games, five by 16 points or more, after a 3-0 start. That losing began with GU’s 91-84 win last month.
