SPOKANE, Wash. — Gonzaga snapped its three-game losing streak against BYU at The Kennel Saturday night, but the Zags were still sweating it out at the end because the outcome was still in doubt until the final minute.
The No. 14 Zags halted their hex against the Cougars with a 68-60 victory before a sellout crowd of 6,000 at the McCarthey Athletic Center.
As the final second slipped off the clock, The Kennel student section chanted, “This is our house!”
It marked Gonzaga’s first home victory over BYU since 2014.
Despite shooting an awful 3 of 20 from 3-point range, the Cougars hung in there against the Zags, just two days after suffering a humiliating loss at Loyola Marymount.
