When this season’s schedule was released, many Gonzaga fans circled this matchup on their calendars as an on opportunity for revenge. After three years of Arizona getting the better of them, the Zags finally broke through at the Staples Center and knocked off the Wildcats 69-62.
Gonzaga raced out of the gates with a pair of 3s in the first 50 seconds of the game, and quickly established a double digit lead that would stand up for most of the afternoon. It wasn’t all offense for Gonzaga, as they stifled a short-handed Arizona squad (38.6% from the field) highlighted by seven Bulldog blocks.
