 SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - The more Washington State clamps down, the more it rises in national prominence. Aron Baynes scored 13 points — nine in the second half — and the No. 8 Cougars' stifling defense dominated in a 51-47 victory over the 17th-ranked Bulldogs on Wednesday night, Gonzaga's first-ever loss at home while ranked.
Washington State (8-0) won for only the eighth time in 112 road games against ranked teams.
Kyle Weaver added 12 points for Washington State and keyed a halfcourt lockdown that held the generally uptempo Zags to their lowest point total since losing 71-47 at Southern Utah on Dec. 23, 1996.
