Washington State Beats Zags in Spokane

On paper, Wazzu's 51-47 win over Gonzaga looks like a top-10 beating a top-20 team. Good win, but nothing special. But what isn't quite as clear from the box score, is just how hard it is to win at Gonzaga.

The Cougs' victory is the first time that the Zags have lost at home while ranked, and I believe it's only the third home loss in 66 games.

GU could be considered the toughest place to play in the country and WSU went in there, played their style game and really shut down a good Gonzaga team.

Wazzu held GU's leading scorer, Matt Bouldin, to 0 points on 0 for 9 shooting and GU shot just 26% for the game.

The Cougs, 8-0, should jump in to the top-5 in next week's rankings if they can handle Portland State Sunday. This solid defense has Final Four written all over it.
