Gonzaga loses 1st game of season
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 27 - 02 - 2017

Eric Mika had 29 points and 11 rebounds to help BYU upset No. 1 Gonzaga 79-71 Saturday, ending the Bulldogs' bid to go undefeated in the final game of the US men's college basketball regular season.
Nigel Williams-Goss scored 19 points for Gonzaga (29-1, 17-1 West Coast Conference), which was seeking to become the first team since Kentucky in 2014-15 to finish the regular season without a loss.
Mika's basket with a minute left gave BYU (21-10, 12-6) a 73-71 lead.
Gonzaga lost the ball on its next two possessions, and Corbin Kaufusi had a putback and Mika hit two free throws to put it out of reach. The last team to finish the entire season undefeated was Indiana in 1975-76.
UCLA 77, Arizona 72: Thomas Welsh scored 12 of his 14 points in the second half and No. 5 UCLA dominated the offensive boards to beat Arizona in a Pac-12 showdown.
The Bruins (26-3, 13-3) snapped Arizona's 21-game home court winning streak and dropped the Wildcats (26-4, 15-2) into a tie with Oregon for first place in the Pac-12 heading into the final week of the regular season.
Vollanova 79, Creighton 63: Eric Paschall scored a season-high 19 points and Josh Hart added 16 to help Villanova wrap up its fourth straight Big East regular-season title.
Kansas 77, Texas 67: Josh Jackson scored 18 points and Frank Mason III added 16 to help Kansas beat Texas and win its 13th consecutive Big 12 regular-season championship outright.
Oregon 75, Stanford 73: Jordan Bell scored on a putback with 14 seconds left to give Oregon a rare Bay Area sweep.
Bell's game-winner followed Dillon Brooks' last-second, tiebreaking 3-pointer three nights earlier at California to give Oregon (26-4, 15-2 Pac-12) its second sweep of its conference Bay Area rivals since 1976.
N. Carolina 85, Pittsburgh 67: Justin Jackson scored 23 points, Joel Berry added 19 and North Carolina continued its march to the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season title.
The Tar Heels (25-5, 13-3) have won four straight following a loss to arch rival Duke two weeks ago. North Carolina can clinch its second straight ACC regular season crown and 31st overall with a win at No. 18 Virginia Monday.
Iowa St. 72, Baylor 69: Deonte Burton scored 22 points, including a crucial 3 with 1:17 left, and Iowa State won its fifth straight.
Kentucky 76, Florida 66: Malik Monk scored 30 of his 33 points in the second half and Bam Adebayo added 18 points with 15 rebounds as Kentucky took over the Southeastern Conference lead.
Other results: Miami 55, Duke 50; W. Virginia 61, TCU 60; Michigan 82, Purdue 70; SMU 69, UConn 61; Virginia 70, N.C. State 55; Florida St. 76, Clemson 74; Saint Mary's 70, Santa Clara 56; Iowa 83, Maryland 69; Wichita St. 86, Missouri St. 67. — AP
