COMMENTARY
SAN JOSE, Calif. — In search of the formula for beating Gonzaga, I sought out a coach from the only team that did so.
BYU assistant Tim LaComb recounted how the Cougars won 79-71 in Spokane on Feb. 25, stunning the Bulldogs in the final game of the regular season.
What facets from that upset might prove pivotal to West Virginia (28-8) when it faces Gonzaga (34-1) in Thursday night’s Sweet 16 game?
“Our guys played pretty well and Gonzaga, for whatever reason, had a night where they were just a little bit off,” LaComb said.
