After a first half that would make a mason jealous, the Wildcats turned up the heat coming out of halftime on their way to a 66-51 victory. Villanova (15-4) came out of the break forcing three quick turnovers and going on a 10-0 run, extending the lead to 13 points in short order. Starting near the end of the first half, the score flipped from 23-22 Georgetown to 36-23 Villanova. There was no looking back. Acaden Lewis rebounded from his struggles against St. John’s, tallying 15 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals. He was able to match the physicality much better against a pair of junior guards for the Hoyas.  Tyler Perkins, as he usually does, made a number of key plays. The junior kept the Wildcats in the game in the first half, scoring  9 of his 15 points before the break. Perkins’ defense was just as essential, where his 4 steals were a major contributor towards the Hoyas’ 17 turnovers.  Duke Brennan recorded his 7th double-double on the year, scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Villanova is 6-1 in those games, with the only loss coming to Creighton. Brennan shot a respectable (for him) 6/10 at the free-throw line. He is shooting 16/27 (59.3%) from the stripe over his past six games. A potentially major development was Bryce Lindsay coming out of his slump in the second half, scoring 9 of his 11 points and going 3/7 from deep. Hopefully that can turn the tide going into the difficult matchup at UConn on Saturday.  Georgetown was led by KJ Lewis and Kayvaun Mulready, each scoring 12 points. Second-leading scorer Malik Mack was held to 5 points on 1/14 shooting.  📊 Final stats from the W over Georgetown!

This sweet puppy is looking for her forever home in Alexandria.

In the student body’s return to the Kennel in Spokane for the first time since Dec. 7, the No. 8 Gonzaga Bulldogs (20-1, 8-0 WCC) played it safe and sidelined graduate forward Graham Ike for the second straight game. He was seen in a boot on his right ankle on the bench once again. It wasn’t necessary to ruin freshman forward Parker Jefferson’s redshirt against the last-placed Pepperdine Waves (6-16, 1-7 WCC) at home, who was suited up for his second straight game. That meant more minutes for walk-on redshirt senior forward Noah Haaland, who contributed a career-high 10 points on a perfect 4-for-4 shooting to go along with another career-high four rebounds. Those who wait and work hard are rewarded, even with the depth across coach Mark Few’s roster. “This isn’t an out of body experience (for Noah Haaland). This is kind of what we’ve been seeing every day in practice. We have confidence in him. I think the players have confidence in him, and hopefully we’ll see a lot more of him.” – Gonzaga coach Mark Few on Noah Haaland The small-ball lineup consistening of the young talent in freshman guard Mario Saint-Supery (12 points on a shooting split of 4-for-7 field goals/2-for-4 three-pointers/2-for-2 free throws) and freshman wing Davis Fogle (team-high 17 points on 4-of-8 from the field and 8-for-10 at the free throw line, four rebounds, three assists) created a quick pace to the Zags’ offense through fastbreak outlets and dribble drives. The energetic pair brought length that helped cause turnovers and versatility that bothered coach Ed Schilling’s Waves continuously when they were on the floor together. Saint-Supery would start the offensive break with his five rebounds and five steals on the defensive side, while Fogle sliced and cut his way to the rim over and over again on the other end. Pepperdine’s defense had no chance of stopping the young 6-7 standout who put together multiple stretches of buckets, it seems like in the blink of an eye. Fogle did have a scare as he left the court with 33 seconds left to play after going down on the baseline. Gonzaga Assistant Athletic Director/Health and Performance Josh Therrien attended to him on the baseline. Fogle did eventually stand up on his own accord and jogged back to the locker room. Few stated in the postgame media availability that it was just some cramping issues. “He (Davis Fogle) was good, he was aggressive. I really liked that play where he dumped it down to Noah (Haaland) at the end. I think he needs to continue to work on his playmaking, as well as just his scoring… He’s one of our bigger guys, so he’s got to step up and do a little better job on the glass for us.” – Gonzaga coach Mark Few on Davis Fogle Fogle!!! pic.twitter.com/dM6Mj0iXYL— Gonzaga Basketball (@ZagMBB) January 22, 2026 Graduate wing Tyon Grant-Foster (12 points on 4-for-9 field goals, two steals in 16 minutes off the bench) has been riding this scoring confidence in West Coast Conference play. His former teammate with the Grand Canyon Antelopes last season, now Pepperdine sophomore guard Styles Phipps, leads his team in three different categories, and it showed. Phipps added 13 points on a perfect 7-for-7 free throws, four rebounds, three assists/three turnovers, plus a steal in the loss. Outside of that, only one other Wave scored in double-digits. That was redshirt sophomore guard Aaron Clark with his 10 points on an ugly 4-for-13 shooting from the field to go along with four assists/one turnover, three rebounds, and a steal for Pepperdine. The team from Malibu as a whole struggled with shooting from beyond the arc on 3-for-22 (14 three-point percentage). Former Zag, redshirt sophomore forward Pavle Stosic, put in nine points and five rebounds in just 13 minutes off Schelling’s bench.
