SPOKANE, Wash. — Jalen Warley scored 19 points and Davis Fogle added 15 points and a last-second rebound as No. 8 Gonzaga edged San Francisco 68-66 on Saturday night for its 14th consecutive victory of the season and 34th win in a row over the Dons.<\/p>\n
Tyon Grant-Foster added 15 points for Gonzaga (21-1, 9-0 West Coast Conference), which was without its two leading scorers for the third straight game. Forward Braden Huff (17.8 points per game) is out for several weeks with a knee injury. Forward Graham Ike (18 ppg) is expected back soon from an ankle injury.<\/p>\n
Legend Smiley scored 18 points and Ryan Beasley 14 for San Francisco (13-9, 5-4), which has not beaten Gonzaga since 2012. The Dons’ last win in Spokane was in 1989.<\/p>\n
San Francisco sank 14 of 28 3-point attempts to nearly end its long victory drought at Gonzaga.<\/p>\n
Junjie Wang had a basket and two free throws to cut Gonzaga\u2019s lead to 60-57 with five minutes left. But the Dons went cold after that and Grant-Foster\u2019s basket and a late 3-pointer with two minutes left lifted the Zags to a 67-57 lead.<\/p>\n
Vukasin Masic hit a pair of 3-pointers for the Dons to cut Gonzaga\u2019s lead to 68-66 with 30 seconds left.<\/p>\n
The Dons played for the final shot and Wang launched a long 3-pointer that clanged off the rim. Fogle rebounded for Gonzaga and time expired.<\/p>\n
The Zags opened the game with a 12-0 run. San Francisco missed its first eight field goal attempts and didn’t score until Tyrone Riley’s 3-pointer with 12:40 left in the first. <\/p>\n
But the Dons hit four more 3-pointers in the first to close within 26-21. Gonzaga then went on a 10-4 run to build a 36-25 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n
San Francisco made six 3-pointers early in the second half, including three by Smiley, to cut Gonzaga’s lead to 53-47.<\/p>\n
San Francisco: Plays at Santa Clara on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
