A little adversity can bring out a team’s willingness to fight and battle. The No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs (15-2, 4-0 WCC) experienced just that in their 78-62 win over the San Francisco Dons (15-4, 2-2 WCC) Thursday night in Spokane. 

Powered by Chet Holmgren’s 22 points, nine rebounds and four blocks, the Zags overcame a slow start to finish strong against one of the premier teams in the WCC.
