Shooting from behind the arc has been a dicey proposition for No. 15 Gonzaga this season. After seemingly finding the mark by making 22 of 46 over a two-game span, the Bulldogs (8-3) are back in a pronounced swoon entering their Wednesday game against Jackson State at Spokane, Wash. Gonzaga is a dismal 22.2 percent (12 of 54) from 3-point range over its past three games, two of them setbacks against Washington and No. 5 … more

The defending national champions finished a daunting nonconference slate with a convincing win. But No. 5 UConn, of all teams, should know that getting through the Big East is another matter. The Huskies will open conference play against Seton Hall on Wednesday in Newark, N.J. UConn (10-1) faced then-No. 10 Gonzaga on Saturday in Seattle, amounting to a road game even though Gonzaga’s campus is in Spokane, Wash. In a rematch of last year’s Elite … more
