Zags’ defense guides them to WCC Tournament Championship game

The Gonzaga Bulldogs took care of business against the San Francisco Dons, 69-55, setting up a championship game against the BYU Cougars.

The Zags opened the game with a solid first quarter, spreading the wealth and attacking San Francisco in the paint. Seven Gonzaga players hit field goals in the first quarter, and although the team shot just 40 percent from the floor, six offensive rebounds helped provide six second-chance points. The Zags took a 17-10 lead into the second quarter.

The Dons came roaring right back in the second quarter on an 11-0 run thanks to some hot shooting combined with the Zags hitting one of their, unfortunately, characteristic shooting slumps.
