What Mark Few said after Gonzaga's shocking loss: 'They guarded Drew (Timme) physically'
SPOKANE - Mark Few was not happy after No. 6 Gonzaga's loss to Loyola Marymount on Thursday night.
The Lions came into the McCarthey Athletic Center and pushed the Zags around for 40 minutes, outrebounding them 38-29 and leaving town with a 68-67 win. LMU's victory snapped Gonzaga's 75-game home winning streak, the eighth-longest streak in Division I men's college basketball history.
Loyola Marymount held national player of the year candidate Drew Timme to 17 points and 7 rebounds while Michael Graham, a bench player for the Lions, led all players with 10 rebounds in just 20 minutes.
LMU's 6-foot-2 point guard Cam Shelton also outrebounded Timme, grabbing 9 boards to go along with his game-high 27 points.
