The Gonzaga Bulldogs missed a huge opportunity to get a statement win, falling to the No. 16 BYU Cougars, 62-50, at home after coughing up a 15 point lead at halftime.
The Zags came out aggressive, attacking the offensive glass and generating nine second-chance points in the first quarter off of seven offensive rebounds. Kayleigh Truong was the hot hand for the Zags, burying a three as time expired in the first quarter to help the Zags take a 20-10 lead.
The intensity continued in the second quarter. Both teams were grinding it out and no shot was coming easy for either squad.
