No. 2 Arizona fell 79-63 to Colorado; No. 3 Auburn was beaten 67-62 by No. 17 Tennessee; No. 4 Purdue lost 68-65 to unranked Michigan State; No. 5 Kansas fell 80-70 to No. 10 Baylor and No. 6 Kentucky suffered a 75-73 upset loss to No. 18 Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzaga had beaten the Gaels handily two weeks earlier and had won 34 consecutive conference <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s, 33 by double-digits. But Saint Mary\u2019s never let Gonzaga get comfortable on Saturday, leading from start to finish while winning their fourth straight since that loss in Spokane.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were extremely more aggressive. They got after us and played us really really physical,\u201d Few said of Saint Mary\u2019s. \u201cThat was it. When you\u2019re the most aggressive team and most physical team, probably nine times out of 10 you\u2019re going to win.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"\/>\n<p>Randy Bennett\u2019s St. Mary\u2019s squad completed a 16-0 run at McKeon Pavilion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s really special,\u201d Bennett said. \u201cIt\u2019s been hard to get. We lost it one year to Loyola Marymount in our last home game. It\u2019s been something hard to get and we finally got it. Especially when it\u2019s against the No. 1 team in the country, it just makes it \u2026 a night you\u2019ll never forget.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saint Mary\u2019s also ended Gonzaga\u2019s 17-game winning streak, beating a No. 1 team for the first time since knocking off the Bulldogs in the 2019 conference tournament title game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of life in late February and early March, especially on the road,\u201d Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. His team clinched the WCC regular-season title last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Fans poured onto the court in a wild celebration of the Gaels\u2019 18th consecutive win at McKeon Pavilion dating to last season.<\/p>\n<p>Matthias Tass added 13 points for the Gaels (24-6, 12-3) and made a pivotal block with 1:15 remaining. Kyle Bowman made a pair of clutch 3-pointers after missing his first seven shots.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to go in the middle of the circle and kiss the logo but people were running on the court so it was difficult,\u201d Tass said. \u201cIt was definitely a surreal moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rasir Bolton scored 16 points for Gonzaga (24-3, 13-1). Drew Timme had six points and eight rebounds, but shot 2 of 10.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
