Gonzaga fights off BYU 70-65, looks to be No. 1
PROVO, Utah, March 1 () -- Two free throws by Elias Harris with 3 seconds left ended a BYU upset attempt Thursday and brought No. 2 Gonzaga a 70-65 win over the Cougars.Having clinched the West Coast Conference title and looking at the possibility of being ranked No. 1 in the country going into the NCAA Tournament, Gonzaga avoided the rash of surprises that have continued to hit the nation's top teams this week.During the course of the week No. 1 Indiana has lost to Minnesota, No. 3 Duke has fallen to Virginia and No. 4 Michigan has been shocked by Penn State.Duke's setback came shortly before Gonzaga took the court Thursday and the Bulldogs found themselves in jeopardy after letting an eight-point lead with 11 minutes to go all but disappear down the stretch.BYU closed within one when Brandon Davies made a layup with 2:48 to play, but it appeared Gonzaga had finally wrapped up the game when it took a five-point lead with 24 seconds left.Kevin Pangos then made the mistake of fouling BYU's Craig Cusick on a 3-point attempt and Cusick hit all three free throws to bring the Cougars within two.When Harris could make just 1-of-2 free throws with 7 seconds left, BYU had a final chance. Gonzaga committed a foul; however, before BYU could get off a 3-pointer and Cusik missed a free throw on purpose in hopes BYU could grab the offensive rebound.It was Gonzaga that came up with the key rebound,[url=http://www.guccioutletstorei.com/Women-1/Men-3/Gucci-Belts-20/]Gucci Men Belt[/url], however, and this time Harris converted two free throws to clinch the victory.Olynyk led Gonzaga (28-2,[url=http://www.guccioutletstorei.com/Women-1/Men-3/Gucci-Mens-Sneakers-24/]Mens Gucci Shoes[/url], 15-0 WCC) with 19 points. Tyler Haws had 19 for the Cougars (20-10, 9-6).
