2015: BYU 73 – No. 3 Gonzaga 70

This win ended a couple of massive Gonzaga streaks. BYU basketball went to The Kennel and snapped the Zags’ 41-game home winning streak and 22-game winning streak.

Ryan Andrus hit a pair of free throws with 1.5 seconds left, giving BYU a 73-70 lead. Kyle Wiltjer’s ensuing 3-pointer was no good, and the Cougars dashed the Bulldogs’ hopes for a No. 1 NCAA Tournament seed (sound familiar?).

In a game that Tyler Haws no-showed (3-11 shooting), Kyle Collinsworth shouldered the load, dropping 20 points, hauling in eight rebounds and dishing out three assists.

Chase Fischer and Skyler Halford combined to shoot 10-20 for 27 points.

The Cougars also played fairly well defensively, holding Wiltjer, Kevin Pangos and Gary Bell to a combined 6-27 shooting and 15 points.

It was a great victory for the Cougars. One of the best in the history of program. But it wasn’t quite as good as. . .
