Two seasons years, Loyola Marymount upset Gonzaga to end the Bulldogs’ mammoth 75-game homecourt winning streak.That stunning victory marks the only time in the past 29 meetings that the Lions defeated the Zags. Loyola Marymount takes another swipe at an upset when it faces No. 19 Gonzaga in a West Coast Conference encounter on Saturday night in Los Angeles.The Lions (9-6, 1-2 WCC) sense another opportunity in the upcoming battle at the on-campus facility dubbed “Hank’s House.””Saturday is the biggest game of the season because it’s the next game,” Loyola Marymount coach Stan Johnson said after his team trounced visiting Oregon State 82-61 on Thursday. “Gonzaga is who they are. We don’t need to get into all that. They’re a good team. For us, we have to keep getting better.”While the Bulldogs have regularly tormented the Lions with 32 wins in the last 34 meetings, that 2023 victory was one of the top upsets of the entire season and Loyola Marymount’s first in Spokane since 1991.That 1991 victory was part of a stretch in which the Lions beat Gonzaga 10 straight times. Eight of the wins were during the electric high-scoring Hank Gathers/Bo Kimble era with Loyola Marymount racking up point totals such as 147, 144 and 121.The 121-84 victory on March 3, 1990, came in the quarterfinals of the WCC tournament on the Loyola Marymount campus. The next night, Gathers delivered a rousing dunk against Portland and collapsed near midcourt while running back up the floor and died hours later at a hospital.The Bulldogs (11-4, 2-0) are seeking their 13th straight win over the Lions in Los Angeles.Gonzaga was sharp on Thursday in an 81-50 home victory over Portland.It was a balanced effort in which Nolan Hickman topped the Zags with 13 points. Dusty Stromer pitched in a season-best 12 points and Michael Ajayi collected a season-high 15 rebounds.Gonzaga coach Mark Few felt the Bulldogs’ first-half defense was the key. His club held the Pilots without a point for more than 7 1/2 minutes during a 20-0 burst.
