The Seattle Supersonics do not play in that Downtown Seattle Arena known as Key Arena. The WNBA's Seattle Storm calls it home as the Gonzaga Bulldogs also call it home away from home. That was the site for the Zags 19-point win over the Iowa Hawkeyes as they advance to the West Region Semis with that sparkling 43-2 W-L for 2014-15.

It was former Kentucky Recruit Kyle Wiltjer (from Portland, Oregon Jesuit Prep the home of one Mike Dunleavy Jr. of the Bulls) who came in with Anthony Davis and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist among others to UK that has found himself a home.

Wiltjer led a Zags Attack with 24 points and seven boards as they hit Iowa with a 46-29 first half. Zags star PG Kevin Pangos added 16 points as both he and Wiltjer combined to shoot 8 for 13 from Spokane. Lithuanian Freshman Domantas Sabonis chipped in with 18 points off the bench as the Hawkeyes go to within eleven points at 60-49 under the ten minute mark but would get no closer.

Iowa was led by Jarrod Uthoff's 20 points and eight boards with Hawkeyes All First-Teamer Aaron White adding 19. Iowa just dug themselves a hole early that had Zags Nation already deep at Key Arena rocking with Uncle Mo (Momentum) right in the middle of that!

Zags now advance to the Sweet 16 where they will meet UCLA in the South Region that also has Duke playing against Utah.
