Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.
Saucony Sneakers Nederland .com) - The ninth-ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs will play yet another tough opponent on the road,
as they take on the UCLA Bruins on Saturday at Pauley Pavilion. Mark Fews
Bulldogs have already taken on power conference teams like Georgia, St. Johns
and Arizona outside of their own building. To the teams credit, Gonzaga has only
suffered one defeat on the year, that coming at Arizona on Dec. 6 in Tucson in a
hard-fought overtime affair (66-63). The team was able to get some distance from
that loss, moving to 8-1 on the year with Wednesdays 81-66 win over Washington
State. UCLA hasnt shied away from top competition either. Steve Alfords Bruins
are a solid 8-2 on the season, with the two losses coming against Oklahoma and
North Carolina. The team has won four games entering this tilt however, with the
most recent being a 77-66 decision over UC Riverside. These two teams have split
a pair of meetings. Gonzaga won the first meeting in 1999 and UCLA evened the
score with a 73-71 victory in the 2006 NCAA Tournament. The Bulldogs put on an
offensive clinic, as three players posted 20 or more points in Gonzagas 15-point
win over the Cougars last time out. Przemek Karnowski erupted for a career-high
22 points, Kyle Wiltjer poured in 21, while Byron Wesley added 20 for Gonzaga,
which shot 53.8 percent from the floor in the game. The Bulldogs really asserted
themselves inside, outscoring WSU in the paint, 58-34. The team also scored 24
points off of 15 Washington State turnovers. Efficient play at the offensive end
has been the norm for Gonzaga this season. The team is generating an impressive
84.4 ppg, doing it on 52.8 percent shooting, a number than ranks sixth
nationally. Wiltjer and Wesley are transfers from Kentucky and USC,
respectively, and both have made huge impacts in their first season with the
team. Wiltjer leads the team in scoring this year at 16.4 ppg. There is plenty
of depth beyond him, as four others are netting double digits on average as
well. Wesley ranks second on the team with 12.1 ppg, followed by freshman
Domantas Sabonis (11.2 ppg), Kevin Pangos (10.4 ppg) and Karnowski (10.0 ppg).
Gary Bell Jr. (9.6 ppg) is eager to join the group. Not many teams can keep pace
with Gonzaga offensively, but UCLA has the personnel to do so. The Bruins are
putting up 82.0 ppg this year and also boast of great scoring depth. Norman
Powell and Bryce Alford are a potent one- two punch, each netting 17.7 ppg.
Kevon Looney has made an immediate impact as well. The 6-foot-9 freshman is
averaging a double-double with 14.1 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. Isaac
Hamilton (11.0 ppg) and Tony Parker (10.9 ppg) round out a terrific starting
five. The Bruins trailed UC Riverside by eight points at the half (36-28), but
UCLA came roaring back after the break to earn an 11-point victory. Powell led
five Bruins in double figures with 20 points. Parker had a double-double with 16
points and 16 rebounds. Looney matched the feat (his seventh double-double of
the year), with 12 points and 11 boards. Alford added 16 points and eight
assists to the cause, while Hamilton tacked on 11 points for good measure.
