BYU has spoiled Gonzaga’s senior night twice in the last six seasons, so it would have been really nice to return the favor in this one in a building that was raucous from the outset. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, as the Cougars outworked and outplayed the Zags to earn the victory:
- You could see that both teams struggled to disengage from the atmosphere in the building at the start of the night, and they were a little too amped up because of it. While both prefer playing an uptempo game, the pace was a little too frenetic without any sort of structure which ironically resulted in a slow offensive start.
