It was a battle of the stars between Gonzaga and Pepperdine on Saturday afternoon, but in the end, the Zags’ had just enough gas to push past an athletic Waves squad, 97-88.
If you came looking for an improved Gonzaga defense this game well, I’m sorry you were disappointed. For the rest of us that love nothing more than unrelenting BUCKETS, the Zags and the Waves did not disappoint. With plenty of NBA scouts in the stands (according to a random broadcast shot of people sitting in a couple of rows), Pepperdine was able to keep it close for much of the first half thanks to the combined talents of Houston Mallette and Maxwell Lewis.
