The WKU women's basketball team went into the fifth-place game of the Vancouver Showcase hoping Gonzaga would be all bark and no bite.

Unfortunately for the Lady Toppers, that was not the case on Saturday afternoon.

The Bulldogs (6-1) jumped out to an early advantage over WKU (2-6) and never looked back, cruising to a 76-55 victory.
