Gonzaga began conference play with a 91-68 pounding on the Loyola Marymount Lions (3-14) on Saturday. Gonzaga, who improved to 12-4 on the season, shot a steaming 65.4 percent from the field and finished the final 4:40 of the game on a 18-4 run. Gonzaga's height advantage inside was the story behind their 52 points in the paint, a 29-21 rebound margin, and the seven to one mark in blocks for the game. Matt Bouldin had an extremely productive night, putting up 17 points, eight assists, five steals and four rebounds. Bouldin's 6-foot-5 frame, found success at the low post the majority of the night, sizing up the much smaller Lion guards.
Loyola Marymount's leading scorer Corey Counts had a game-high 21 points with seven assists, while making five of six from 3-point range.
Gonzaga will hit the road against Pepperdine on January 15th, before coming home to face San Diego and San Francisco. Their next true test will be a non-conference game at #2 Memphis on January 26th.
