Shocking Upset: No. 6 Gonzaga’s Streak Snapped by Underdog Portland in Stunning Showdown

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — There wasn’t one specific thing coach Mark Few could point to in trying to explain Gonzaga’s struggles against Portland.

The Pilots’ previous victory over the Zags came on Jan. 9, 2014, an 82-73 win in Portland. Gonzaga was ranked No. 18 in that game.
