Gonzaga explodes in the second half and beats WSU 88-75. The way the game started, it looked like this would go down to the wire. Nolan Hickman took over point guard duties when Nembhard was in foul trouble in the first. He steadied the offense and Zags took a 3 point lead at half. Then an offensive bomb went off and Zags destroyed the Cougars in the 2nd half. 3 point shooting was outstanding at 47.6% (10-21). Zags win the rebounding battle 31 to 28. Easy choice for player of the game: Nolan Hickman who had 19 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, and an unofficial block. Onto Oregon State away game this Thursday. #gozags #ZAGUP #gonzaga
