No. 7 Gonzaga 65, San Diego 63: Elias Harris scored 18 points and blocked a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer as the visiting Bulldogs continued their dominance in the West Coast Conference and became the first team in the nation to win 21 games.

Gonzaga, which is off to its best WCC start since going undefeated in 2008-09, got all it could ask for from the Toreros, who hadn't beaten a ranked team since 2009.
