It seemed as if the dream of a perfect season might end for Gonzaga in the West Coast Conference championship on Tuesday. But Gonzaga found a rhythm in the second half -- the Bulldogs were down by 12 points at halftime -- to maintain their spotless record and secure an 88-78 win over BYU in the tournament title game.
Gonzaga will now enter the NCAA tournament with an opportunity to match the last perfect season, achieved by Indiana during the 1975-76 campaign, in college basketball history. Per head coach Mark Few, the team has embraced the history attached to this moment.
