"A lot of mentors say don't get out there and play anymore once you're 40,"
"We were just going over some basic zone defense, offense, and I'm on offense and my Achilles popped -- the worst thing that could possibly happen at the time,"
"Former teammates joked that they stopped playing. 'That's not who you are anymore.' That's where we are [as a team]: beat up."
Portland, led on the sideline by injured coach Shantay Legans using a knee caddy, defeated No. 6 Gonzaga 87-80 in a major upset. The victory ended Portland's 30-game losing streak against AP top-10 teams and halted Gonzaga's 141-game streak of wins against teams with losing records. Portland shot 66 percent inside the arc and 44 percent from three, while freshman Joel Foxwell scored a game-high 27 points. Gonzaga's Graham Ike led his team with 24 points. Gonzaga's last lead came with 6:55 left in the first half; Portland led by 15 late in the second half.
