These Zags are fun to watch — and hard to catch once they get out front. Kyle Wiltjer had 18 points and 10 rebounds, and No. 7 Gonzaga shot its way past Brigham Young 91-75 Tuesday night for the Zags' third straight West Coast Conference tournament title. "We want to play the fast and can score with the best of them," said Wiltjer, the tournament MVP. "We wanted to just push the pace and did that." Gonzaga (32-2), the regular-season champion, clinched its 14th WCC tournament by putting on an offensive show in an entertaining rematch of last year's title game. The nation's best- shooting team during the regular season, the Bulldogs hit 53 percent inside Orleans Arena and made 8 of 12 from 3-point range. Kevin Pangos had 16 points and five assists while orchestrating an efficient Gonzaga offense that had 15 assists and six turnovers. Domantas Sabonis and Gary Bell Jr. added 15 points each for the Zags, who are expecting a high seed when the NCAA Tournament selections are announced on Sunday. "They love each other and just want to keep playing with each other, that's been the base for this team all year," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "They want to keep winning so they can keep playing with each other." BYU (25-9) tried to match the Zags shot for shot behind Kyle Collinsworth, but never quite caught them after Gonzaga went on an early second-half run to build a 12-point lead. Collinsworth finished with 28 points, eight rebounds and five assists after posting a triple-double in the semifinals. Tyler Haws added 15 points for the Cougars, who have to endure an agonizing wait until Selection Sunday for the second straight season. "There's a committee that makes that decision and If they watched us play, I think they'd feel pretty good about putting us in their tournament," BYU coach Dave Rose said.
