No. 14 Gonzaga braces for test against LSU's talented roster

No. 14 Gonzaga and LSU will put unbeaten records on the line as they meet Saturday in Spokane, Wash., in the toughest test for each team so far this season. LSU coach Will Wade said he hopes the 2,300-mile trip to the Pacific Northwest will be worth the $30,000 guarantee his team received to play just off the Gonzaga campus at Spokane's Numerica Veterans Arena. "We're getting money for our NIL to go up there, so the check ain't going to bounce," Wade said. "That may be the best part of the trip if we don't play any better than we've been playing. "I think I was the only one dumb enough to go up there and play them. It's going to be one of the biggest challenges of our entire season." Gonzaga (2-0), which makes a habit of playing a difficult nonconference schedule to better prepare for what has become an annual appearance in the NCAA Tournament, already has a victory over Purdue at Las Vegas and another at home against New Mexico State. The Bulldogs are led by shooting guard Davis Fogle, the reigning Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week. Fogle scored a career-high 22 points against Purdue
