Gonzaga erased a stubborn piece of program history on opening night, knocking off Purdue for the first time ever, according to Sporting News. The Bulldogs had entered the matchup winless against the Boilermakers, making Monday's result a long-awaited breakthrough.
The win was powered by a standout showing from Davis Fogle, whose breakout effort helped carry Gonzaga past Purdue in the season's opening game, Sporting News reported. The performance gave Gonzaga fans an early signal of what the young roster could bring heading into the new campaign.
While specific stat lines were not detailed, the outcome marks a milestone for a Gonzaga program that had repeatedly fallen short against Purdue in past meetings, finally flipping the script to start the season on a high note.
