Zags, Cougs collide at Arena

Gonzaga and WSU hook up tonight in the Arena. The 9th-ranked Zags are 7-1, basically one play in crunch time from being undefeated and probably ranked in the top five. WSU is 4-4. The Cougars defeated Idaho State, Rice, Missouri State and Texas-San Antonio. They lost on the road to TCU and UTEP, lost in Alaska to UC-Santa Barbara and in Pullman to rival Idaho.

So it makes all the sense in the world that GU would be heavy favorites … but by 24 points? I don’t pay much attention to the odds, but I would have pegged it at 16-18 points.
