Kyle Collinsworth scored 20 points and BYU ended the Bulldogs' school-record 22-game winning streak, perhaps costing them a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament. The Cougars won their sixth in a row to boost their NCAA tournament hopes heading into the West Coast Conference tournament. Byron Wesley scored 17 points to lead Gonzaga (29-2, 17-1), which had already clinched the league's regular-season title. The Cougars inbounded the ball to Ryan Andrus, who was fouled immediately and made both free throws for a three-point lead with 1.5 seconds left. Gonzaga was trying to become the first team to go through the WCC regular season undefeated since the league's recent expansion to 10 schools. Gonzaga made only five of its first 15 shots in the second half, and Tyler Haws scored seven consecutive points for the Cougars to extend the lead to 60-50. Wesley's basket cut BYU's lead to 66-61 with 3:32 left before Collinsworth replied with a three-point play to push the lead back to eight. Gonzaga scored the final three baskets of the first half, with Pangos' short jumper tying the score at 36. Haws, the reigning WCC player of the year, leads the league in scoring at 22.3 points per game and is the career scoring leader at BYU. Pangos has started 133 of his 134 career games.
