After falling to potential resume booster Memphis last Saturday, the Gonzaga Bulldogs bounced back nicely this week with wins over Pepperdine and Loyola Marymount.
It was senior night in the kennel, and the Bulldogs sent off their seniors the right way with an 86-67 win over LMU. The victory featured 25 points and 15 rebounds from Sam Dower and a three-pointer from senior Brian Bhaskar in the waning seconds of the game.
Gonzaga has another big game coming up, as the Zags travel to Provo to take on the second place BYU Cougars. Gonzaga has a 3.5 game lead on the Cougars, but the Zags could still use a quality road victory to put on their NCAA tournament resume.
