Brad Waldow, Devin Watson and the #WCCHoops Slate

Compiled by Curran McCauley

The West Coast Conference saw another packed day of Men’s hoops on Saturday, including all ten teams in action with games spanning from early afternoon to late night. When it was all said and done, Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s remained perfect in conference play. Here is a look at the entire slate of games.

No. 6 Gonzaga 79 Santa Clara 57

The Bulldogs pushed their home winning streak to 34 straight games, never trailing against Santa Clara. Reigning WCC Player of the Week Prezemek Karnowski and Kyle Wiltjer each pitched in 16 points.

Pepperdine 59 San Diego 47

Pepperdine swept a conference road-swing for the first time since 2002. Stacy Davis continued his exceptional season with 18 points while the Waves defense held San Diego to just 29.7 percent from the field.

BYU 85 Loyola Marymount 72

The Cougars started the game on a 10-0 run. Kyle Collinsworth fell just short of another triple-double, finishing with 13 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as BYU bounced back from a rare home loss to Pepperdine on Thursday night.

San Francisco 89 Portland 77

USF recovered from back-to-back blowout losses, besting Portland on the road. Freshman Devin Watson impressed with a career-high 21 points. The Dons had 11 threes in the victory.

Saint Mary’s 54 Pacific 47

Saint Mary’s squeaked past Pacific, thanks in part to a late technical foul call. Brad Waldow added a double-double (21 pts, 11 rebs). The 54 points for the guests represented the least in a Gaels’ victory since 1995 (also a win over Pacific).
