No. 1 Gonzaga survives BYU to enter NCAA tournament with undefeated record

Thanks to Jalen Suggs, No. 1 Gonzaga is headed into the NCAA tournament with a perfect 26-0 record.

Gonzaga, after struggling in the first half of the WCC championship game on Tuesday night in Las Vegas, rallied back late in the second half to beat BYU 88-78 behind a pair of clutch back-to-back 3-point buckets from Suggs.

The win not only ensures their place as the top seed in the NCAA tournament, and gives them their eighth WCC title in nine years, but it makes the Bulldogs just the fifth team in more than 40 years to enter the tournament with a perfect record.
