STOCKTON — Kyle Wiltjer found Spanos Center much to his liking last season.
The 6-foot-10 senior forward and preseason nominee for the John R. Wooden Award scored a career-high 45 points, the most by an opponent ever against Pacific, in Gonzaga’s 86-74 win over Pacific last February in Stockton. Wiltjer and the Zags (14-5, 6-2 West Coast Conference) return to play the Tigers (6-12, 4-4) at 1 p.m. today at Spanos Center.
Wiltjer was close to unstoppable in an unforgettable performance last time through town.
