10 Observations from Gonzaga’s win over Pepperdine
A 43 game winning streak over the course of 20 years against a single team is a truly unbelievable feat. The level of consistency that requires is hard to comprehend. Keep in mind that the last time Pepperdine beat Gonzaga which was on January 18, 2002, the iPod had just been invented and Nickelback had spent some time at the top of the Billboard 100. NICKELBACK!
This was one of the uglier games that Gonzaga—if you can call winning by 20 and scoring 86 points ugly (we are spoiled)—has played since that early December swoon. There will be lots to clean up and an extra day for the coaching staff until the next game on Saturday against Santa Clara.
