Mom said there wasn't anything she really needed/wanted for her birthday until she saw that the Gonzaga Bulldogs were playing the Washington State Cougars in Pullman. We both enjoy watching the Zags play and have followed them on TV for the last few years. We tried buying tickets on-line but weren't sure what we were getting so we drove to Pullman and bought tickets at the ticket outlet.
We had a wonderful dinner at Wendys, drove to Pullman, parked at the church, and arrived at the coliseum over an hour and a half early. The ticket takers had compassion on the early birds and let us stand just inside the doors until 6:30 (game started at 8:00).
We bought candy, wandered the concourse, found our seats (very good ones), visited with a fellow I work with in scouts, and thoroughly enjoyed the ambiance.
WSU was 4-0 and Ganzaga was 3-1 and ranked 12th or 13th in the nation.
Two of our favorite players are Kyle Wiltjer (33), and Domantas Sabonis (11). They didn't disappoint.
The Zags "Big Man" Przemek Karnowski (24) was suffering a lower back strain and did not suit up or play. Big disappointment!
There has to be a few crazies in the crowd.
The game was close at times but Gonzaga won by nine.
