Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Gary Bell Jr. paced a balanced Gonzaga attack with 17 points and the No. 3 Bulldogs posted a 72-55 victory over Loyola Marymount on Saturday.

Kevin Pangos hit four 3-pointers and scored 16 points for the Bulldogs (18-1, 7-0 WCC), who notched their 11th straight victory overall and against the Lions.

Byron Wesley finished with 14 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals for a Gonzaga team that opened the game on a 14-0 run.

"I thought we did a really good job," said Gonzaga coach Mark Few. "We moved it around and found the shooters."

Ayodeji Egbeyemi had 14 points to lead Loyola Marymount (5-14, 1-6), which snapped a five-game skid with a win over Portland on Thursday.

The Lions, who were down 18 in the first half, closed to within seven on two occasions before a cold spell ended any chance of an upset.

Petr Herman banked in a 3-pointer to trim the deficit to 44-37 with 14:58 left in the game. However, Loyola Marymount missed its next eight shots from the floor until a layup by Egbeyemi ended the drought with 6:47 remaining.

Bell followed with a 3-pointer to put Gonzaga up 63-43.
